Mates and I used to ride our bikes there many many years ago to have a BBQ :)

Count me in.

ParksVic website states no solid fuel BBQs, only portable LPG/LNG ones. I'll bring some steaks to make steak sandwiches. Someone bring drinks, snacks, condiments and cutlery? I'm planning to be there about 4pm to get some kayaking done before the meet, I've got a spare kayak and lifevest if anyone wants to join me.

While he hasn't posted here, I believe that darkangel55555 (Jon) will be attending. Whether he's going to bring his Lemax or not I don't know.

I will be able to come providing it is not a total fire ban!

Is there a swimming spot in the lake? I think I will need a dip to cool of after a long hot drive.

I don't see any mention of a pool.

Over the past years Aura Vale Lake Park has become a popular venue for boating activities including sailboarding and canoeing and for other small non-powered boats up to 3.3 metres. Swimming is not permitted due to poor water quality and submerged objects.
