On the late afternoon of the 24th of July we decided to do a quick walk around Meringandan Lake at Tom Volp Park. I hadn't visited this area for some months and the frost hasn't been kind to the reeds and the grasses around the lake area. Despite this, many variety of ducks were seen, including the Hardhead, which I haven't seen here before. The water was very clear at the edge of the lake and Brendon spotted a large Eastern-Long Neck Turtle swimming amongst the reeds.
