This natural wonder is so pleasant, families with children can enjoy many water activities by boating, water skiing or just having tasty picnic and feeding local ducks. Also nearby there is children playground as well. To walk to town takes about 10 minutes where you can get ice cream or cosy lunch or diner. And prices are very moderate.

Unfortunately the tremendous housing development has spoilt it a bit for those who have holidayed from way back. However who can blame the crowds wanting to share in the atmosphere. It is a lovely town and definitely recommend it for a stay or at least a visit, although to experience it fully a few days stay is a must!

definitely worth the walk to this lake. We walked via the Mount Crichton loop Track past Dispute Lake and onto the Moke Lake. Great walk that took us nearly 5 hours. Definitely recommend the walk if you have time - the views are spectacular

Fantastic walk from Cannibal Bay to Surat Bay. We were lucky and saw many and very large sea lions. Keep your distance!
