Lake Samsonvale,Lake Kurwongbah and North Pine Dam






 Saturday  March 14th

Decided to head out for a drive while the open home was on Saturday week ago found a nice spot.
Lake Samsonvale and Lake Kurwongbah are both located to the north of Brisbane.
Lake Samsonvale provides a special opportunity for hiking, fishing, boating and bird watching, Bullocky Rest is a peninsular stretching out into lake Samsonvale. Being surrounded by water on three sides and with plenty of shade trees, it is a great place to get outdoors in summer. There are plenty of barbecue places. On quiet days you can drive up to a barbecue area. There is a nice 8 km return track along the shores of the lake. One of the wonderful things about Lake Samson is the population of Black Swans that call the lake home. You will also easily spot a variety of birds such as pelicans, ducks and cormorants.There is a stocked lake which means good fishing. However to fish you need to obtain a SIPS permit.
