Photographer’s Note

Lake Leschenaultia is located about 50km east of the city of the Perth. The lake was created in 1897 for the purpose of providing water for steam trains passing through the region. The line was closed in 1966 when a new line following the Avon River was opened.

Nowadays the lake is a popular spot for daytime visitors and overnight campers. For the active, the park offers swimming, bushwalking and mountain biking while the more sedentary can simply picnic in the pleasant bush surrounds. BBQ's and Canoe Hire are available.

I have "worked" the photo a little to recover colour in the sky and to highlight the pontoon.
