Woorabinda Lake

The Woorabinda Lake circuit walk starts from Woorabinda Drive in Stirling and pivots around the lake, which takes only 10 to 20 minutes to do. This short walk is perfect for birdwatching as there is a bird hide on the southeastern side of the lake, and you can come across alpacas if lucky. It is also pet-friendly, so bring your furry friend along. The natural landscape surrounding the lake provides a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. There are no facilities or points of interest along the way, but it's a great spot to enjoy some fresh air and nature. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
