Lillydale Lake, Lilydale, Victoria

The Lillydale Lake area includes patches of bushland, the lake itself, other wetlands, and much wildlife, particularly water birds.
The extra l in Lillydale Lake is for historical reasons.

The above picture is of an Australian Magpie foraging in the grass near the lake.
