Loved the atmosphere in the morning - watching black swans and walking our dog. Very peaceful, although it was a bit confusing at the Northern end.
A lovely boardwalk around the lagoon. Lots of birds and other wildlife. There is plenty of parking space close to the beach end of the boardwalk.
A delightful long boardwalk with much bird life and ducks. The boardwalk is wide and flat with viewing platforms. A very natural rustic environment. Loved it.

Also called Lake Curalo Board Walk.
Entry: End of the car park at the corner of Barclay street and Aslings Beach Road
Nice walk. It's not a loop walk. You have to return in the same way once you reach the end of the walk. The walk consists board walk, concrete path and gravel path. You walk next to the lake until the board walk finishes. It's up to you to continue the walk or return at the end of boardwalk. You must do this walk to see beautiful Black Swans.
Tranquil broad walk with many water birds and black swans
