Recently we had time and inclination to explore our local area with Amelia in tow. This is something we haven't really done too much of since she's joined us, given she's now way too big to be in the backpack and not quite into the walking spirit yet. After some convincing, and the promise of a packed lunch we managed to make it into the park- and to the lake itself. She was incredibly disappointed not to see platypus- but given the noise she was making it's no surprise.
Lake Elizabeth was formed a number of years ago after record levels of rain caused a rock and land slide into the Barwon River- it's situated just out of Forrest in the Otways. There are lots of nice walks and free camping which makes the place quite popular. Canoe tours can also be taken where you may be lucky enough to see platypus close up. Here's some more info from the link below. http://www.forrestvictoria.com/lake-elizabeth
Now for some photos of our intrepid and sometimes reluctant explorer...

For a short while she did walk in front...
