Lake Lockie and its big brother, Lake Hattah, in the Hattah-Kulkyne National Park of northern Victoria is little natural wonder I have only just discovered.

As the Murray River winds it’s way through the arid mallee scrub of this region it spills out onto wetlands that cycle from wet to completely dry.

For much of the year there is little water here and even though just as beautiful when dry I can’t help but prefer just a little water in this land locked place.
