At the northern end of Laycock Street is Yural Reserve. This small reserve is a great place to sit and watch the world and the yachts pass by.
During the sailing season Yural is a great vantage point for most of the action on a fair bit of the lake.
Thanks to LMCC there is also now a table for eating off and a bench for sitting on so you can plan a full picturesque picnic.
If you’d rather sit on the grass in the shade there is some of that as well on the foreshore, below the bank and adjacent to the cul-de-sac behind the pipe fence.
The western end of this reserve has easy access in to the Lake if you like to splash about, and don’t mind walking through a few types seagrasses.
As with all Lake swimming though, beware of rocks, razor fish, blue ringed octopus and sea urchins, who also like the lake and call it home. Happy International Year of Biodiversity!
