Lake Broadwater
















We were desperate for something to do yesterday, so we decided to drive to Lake Broadwater. It is the only natural fresh water lake in Queensland. We were expecting a lake, what we found was a large puddle/slew. There were 2 caming areas and lots of picnic areas. The one camping area was lake view camping, the other was bush camping. There was NO ONE camping. There was one other vehicle there, that had some sort of decals on the side talking about their bird pictures. The whole park was just deserted. The lake was WAY LOW. They've been in quite a drought here. There was no way that a boat could have used the ramp, as the whole ramp was out of the water. I'm not sure that there was any of the "lake" that was over 2 or 3 feet deep. There were weeds sticking out of it everywhere.





The trees here are ugly. The bark on a lot of them peels constantly and the limbs twist and turn.
