Lake Barrine

On Sunday afternoons - weather permitting - I've been trying out a few new walks in the local area. Recently I visited Lake Barrine. This is a freshwater lake fed by rainwater, about 5 km in circumference.

Kauri pines (I resisted the urge to laugh at people who were reading the sign and pronouncing it 'caw-ree' instead of 'cow-ree')

Pretty boardwalk section of the walk

Privately run teahouse at the lake

Bush turkey

Closer to home: white ibis and straw-necked ibis
(the former are colloquially known in some parts of Australia as 'bin chickens')
