Herdsman Lake — Attraction in Herdsman

Herdsman Lake was an unexpected, pleasant surprise, we didn't expect much and only proceeded to walk around the area to kill some time, but the more we explored this natural setting the more we discovered to our liking.

Tiger snakes are not aggressive just give them space and they will move away quickly back into longer grass. Bird life is brilliant especially in the spring but always something to see...
