Lake Dulverton, Oatlands

Lake Dulverton is a shallow, ephemeral lake bordered by residential areas, a golf course and farmland. The lake is a bird sanctuary, which, when full, covers an area of around 230 hectares.

A popular bird watching spot, the flora and fauna of the lake varies depending on season and water level.
