context_page_description: Lake Seppings is a freshwater lake located within the city of Albany in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.
context_section_description: Lake Seppings has a rich variety of vegetation around its margins. The immediate lakeside is surrounded by a mixture of bullrushes, reeds and sedges. The fringing trees are a mixture of Myrtaceae: Western Australian peppermint trees, spearwoods, paperbarks, native willows and wattles. Banksias are also found around the lake. The northern end of the lake is a dense melaleuca stand of the above-mentioned species.
  The north-western side of the lake has been cleared and is suffering from infestations of several weeds. These include kikuyu grass, bracken, blackberry, nasturtium, Taylorina and arum lily. Conservation groups are trying to restore the area starting with the old tip site which has been cleared and re-planted with several natives such as bluegums, Albany woolly-bushes and kangaroo paws.
