A visit to Lake Leschenultia in September, somehow I missed posting these views. I do recall how dry everything was as we were beginning to head out of a virtually rain free winter. The lake at this stage was very low, dangerously so. By September, normally the lake is overflowing with the cascade running, it didn't even get close to full this year.
There is always something to see in the loop around the lake. Flowers were fairly abundant. Ducks were spread around, one family with four ducklings that I encounter towards the end of my walk had a raven attempting to take one of the ducklings. I went and stood guard until it flew away.
Apart from the ducks, the only other form of life I encountered was a clump of sawfly caterpillars which were traveling across the track. Travelling in clumps is safer when they are out in the open...
