Great spot for a rest stop. Probably ades to its beauty was that there was lots of water and birds.

Most beautiful place in NSW

Great view over Lake George and worth a stop in. There's parking, toilets and picnic benches. Was pretty dirty and littered with rubbish when we visited.

An equilateral triangle whose area and perimeter are equal has the area of exactly the square root of 432

Interesting lake with this quirky windmill on a hot day. The water seems a bit murky, natural colour or not I am not sure. Good place to stop though!

There are several good rest areas off the Federal Highway as it passes alongside Lake George.

The Badcoe VC Rest Area is ideal for an RV stop. It has space for at least one rig and a turnaround point. There is also a covered picnic table; nil ablutions though.

Views are great as is a frog swamp amphitheatre, which was in full concert while we were there.

For a quick appreciation of Major Peter John Badcoe, VC, and his service to Australia, look him up on Wikipedia.

Loved the stop to take some pics of Lake George at its finest .. very full of water.

The one thing that confused us was the memorial sign there at this stop. We respect all the fallen who have fought in the wars, but this particular soul we wondered why his name and not someone local .. he was born in Adelaide, and died in Malaysia. Maybe I have to google him to know more why there for him, and not in Adelaide.

Otherwise, great little stop to absorb the beauty of Lake George!

good spot to stop and breath, easy in and out.
A couple of shaded tables and bin
there's around 10 parking spots, so there's no need to park next to the only other car there ... really

Good spot to Drone as usually empty
