There is a nest with a pair of Sea Hawks in the tree closest to the waterfront. The water used to come right up to the base of this tree before the front was secured with the block wall. Lorikeet Lodge is aptly named after the hundreds of Lorikeets that visit. They are the most spectacular of all the birds. The Gallahs and Cockatoos are also plentiful.
Blue lake is housed in natural surroundings within walking distance from the road.
The walk is 2 kilometres one way. As you can see from the picture, the lake's water is crystal clear and inviting. This is fresh water, and it is said to have come as far as the Darling Downs past Toowoomba. There is lots of wildlife here, especially in the mornings and afternoons as the animals come from afar to have a drink of the cool water.
