Lake Bullen Merri – South Beach

Lake Bullen Merri – South Beach

Find your own space on this crystal clear volcanic lake on the southern outskirts of Camperdown.

Lake Bullen Merri’s clover like shape is a legacy of its volcanic past; the lake was formed from the remains of three adjoining craters. Dark volcanic sands frame the beautiful waterway providing a wonderful venue for picnicking, walking, boating, fishing, water skiing and swimming. Visit on the weekends for a hive of local activity or take some time out midweek to listen to the lapping of waves on her ancient shores.
