Hi everyone, this destination it's a ripper.
Lake Kepwari (16 km for Collie and 215 km from
Perth) is a former open cut coal
mine that has been rehabilitated to establish a first-class aquatic playground. Officially opened in 2020, no expense has been spared . The camping and day areas are modern and
well planned.
For nature lovers there is an abundance of
wildflowers (spring) and a haven for birds.
Well worth a visit.
Cheers Mike and Kendra

We stayed there not long after it was officially opened, a lovely quiet place mid-week but it got a bit busy on the weekend.
I had a small inflatable boat and putted around the
lake a bit.
As it was an old coal
mine I walked around the banks and collected big lumps of coal for future use. Most of it has been used up by now so I might have to go and revisit the area again.
