Main thing to enjoy here is ‘Puffing Billy’ the train. There are some certain places can do BBQ, fishing. Also ‘cycling on water’ is an another activity that can enjoy here (13$ for 10 minutes per water cycle as attached)”.Toilets are available during working hours. Some walking, cycling tracks, swimming pool and plenty of bird kinds are here to enjoy as well.
Personal use photos are welcoming by the management and commercial photography such as wedding shoots are not permitted unless person having a letter from the management. Paid parking ( 2$ for 2 hours and 8$ for whole day). Visiting entrance are free other than the person not involving any activity. Have fun. 🙂

Great day out, however paid $155 for the poolside hut for the day all you get is 2 tables and a roof and a peace of mind you have tables reserved to use, you would think they would include a bbq in there as well, which comes to my next point it seemed there was a lack of bbq's to use for multiple family's that are there so had to wait or share using the bbq's.
One last thing it's very hilly to get to some toilets or tables so don't recommend for people with walking difficulties.

What a beautiful place. Nature is at his best. Great place to go with a family picnic. Only concern about the restroom which is not cleaned and hygienic.
What a unique place! Shade to sit and watch the kids, deep enough for adults to enjoy with water height up to 0.9m. Fenced in, picnic tables outside of gated pool area and toilets ( a little walk away), a playground and lots and lots of other things to see and do. Parking is $6 all day and less then 200 metres from wading pool. Entry is free.
We stayed for 6hrs, lots of people came and left. Bring a picnic and make a day of it.

This was a really pleasant spot for a splash around. The pool is shaped along the side of the lake and is 50 cm deep, slightly deeper in the middle.
There was a lifeguard and lots of seats, a fairly basic change room is a short walk part way around the lake.
The pool is free, parking was $2 for 2 hours. It is fenced and it is an outdoor pool so the only shade is from the over hanging oak tree, which was quite enough.
The pool was chlorinated and clean, however being outside a fair amount of leaf and dirt was making its way in from feet and wind. However, the sun shining in the water, the fresh air, trees, ducks and pleasant surrounds make this a fun place for a play and a swim.

Lovely place for picnic and aqua biking.
Getting there:
The obvious and easy option is to drive here, but the more interesting option is the Puffing Billy train. If you are taking the train it is advisable to get there early and take the return train later.
What to do and services:
This pristine park is a great place for picnic. There is a restaurant near the Puffing Billy station. On days when they are open you can do Aqua Biking for a very reasonable cost. Taking a walk around the lake is a great experience too.
Parents with kids:
There are play areas, trails not far away from the water body. Given the restaurant services are usually available on weekends and holidays you better have food and water handy. Under shade picnic areas need prior booking sometimes, so if the mercury is high make sure you are prepared.

Famous spot among tourist to get off puffing train and have a picnic. There's not much food you can find here so equip yourself with load of supply and water. A trail in this area is nice and serene. Dogs are welcome.
