Beautiful walk around Lake Victoria. ake Victoria is a shallow sub-coastal lagoon forming part of the Swan Bay systems of wetlands on the Eastern Bellarine Peninsula, south-east of Geelong.
It is part of the Lonsdale Lakes Nature Reserve administered by Parks Victoria. Lake Victoria, although it varies in water level, provides a relatively stable environment for waterbirds, maintaining its high salinity even when full and never drying out in summer. Saltmarsh is the dominant vegetation around the lakeshore. It is a natural lake but has been modified by shell-grit mining. Water enters the lake through urban run-off, rainfall and slow seepage. There are breeding records for five species and it often supports thousands of birds. The highest ever recorded as 10,062 birds in 2000.
The lake is of international significance for Red-Necked Stints, Banded Stilts and the globally endangered Orange-Bellied Parrot.

150 Hesse Street, Queenscliff
Serene nature walk along beach sand dune. Lovers Walk
For the more adventurous, grab your day pack and explore Lovers Walk. It meanders through the Coastal Moonah Woodland along the top of the Santa Casa, Narrows and Springs beaches. Along the way you'll find stunning native flora, local wildlife and plenty of places to view and access the beach.
There are numerous places to start, finish and access Lovers Walk, including the Ocean View car park near the Queenscliff Lighthouse; Henry Street; Fraser Street; and the Narrows Beach car park. Lovers Walk also links up with the Point Lonsdale Promenade at Narrows Beach.
Lovers Walk is quite narrow in parts and very sandy underfoot, so you'll need to watch your step.
