Lake Bonney SE
A vast freshwater lake near Millicent built for wind and water.
Lake Bonney is one of the largest freshwater lakes in the South East, a broad sheet of water near Millicent that comes into its own when the coastal wind picks up.
Sailors and windsurfers make the most of those conditions, while the quieter margins and reserves are good for birdwatching and a lakeside picnic.
The wind farms on the surrounding ridges are part of the modern character of this open, big-sky corner of the Limestone Coast.
