Bookaar Lake Reserve Vic

Survey Point Bookaar Lake Reserve Vic
Latitude -38.1455600 (38° 8′ 44″ S)
Longitude 143.1055600 (143° 6′ 20″ E)

About 12km north of Camperdown on the Darlington Rd, the lake is often dry, but when there’s water in it the birding can be excellent. The small reserve is nothing to shout about, but will always have a few birds. It is possible to camp here, but it’s a small parking area and there are some toilets through some gates at the old school.

Camp rating 6
