Title: Lake McKenzie Closure :-(
Post by: Karen on April 20, 2010, 07:32:17 PM
Well how do you like that!?  They are closing Lake McKenzie from April 20th through to the September school holidays for redevelopment!!   >:(

Did someone not tell the government departments that we were coming and that we'd like everything available during our stay.  Some notice would have been nice.   :'(

That's a real shame. I know your already p'ed off but it was one on the best days we had there swimming. There are tons of other great places though so you'll still have a ball but what a bummer  >:(

I agree NK, we preferred Birrabeen also.  One less backpacker infested place we have to visit I suppose.  8)

Although a happily married man, I love a Swedish backpacker  :angel:, and think it's fantastic that they enjoy our sunshine and waterways.

That's not such a bad thing, it will concentrate all the talent into a target rich enviorment :cup:


I mean make everyone closer so we can interact with our foreign visitors,



That didn't realy sound right either,











What I realy mean is more to see and less places to look :angel:
