Lake Wendouree can only be described as a beautiful expanse of water. It covers a large area and is a focal point for the city. Until recently the lake had dried up but increased rainfall with the addition of recycled water has boosted the lakes level to around half. The council is also improving much of the foreshore making it even better to walk around and enjoy.
