blackburn lake sanctuary, blackburn
/
Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is a real treasure of the east. With playspaces (the main on Central Road and the most recent at the Cliffton Street entrance), and beautiful bush trails that weave their way through some stunning bush land, this Sanctuary is a beautiful place to take the family (and the dog - on the lead) for some fresh air and exercise. Here, you will be able to listen to the bird life, look for turtles in the lake and simply slow down and take in your surroundings. Mamma likes to start our adventure at one playgrounds, before walking on one of the many trails, skipping over bridges, and stopping by the lakeside to watch the water for a while. The visit also must include visiting Stumpy and see what festive attire it is sporting!
Mamma's special mentions: The visitors centre has had a little face lift recently and is looking quite swish under its 'wings'. Doors are open each (although Covid restrictions may impact this program) Sunday from 2 till 4pm with cultural displays and talks happening regularly. Check out the Facebook page to stay up to date with events including school holiday and online events.
