Weereewa Lookout — Attraction in Lake George

The Lake George Weereewa lookout is around 35kms from the Canberra city centre heading along the Federal Hwy, also known as the Remembrance Driveway!

The lookout offers great views of the 25km lake when it's full of water, and the surprising thing I read it is roughly only about 1mt deep with a small section being 7.5mts deep...

When Lake George has a high water level, it can not be a bad place to fish but can be very dangerous if fishing out a boat if the wind picks up...
