Lotusbird Lodge lake Qld

Survey Point Lotusbird Lodge lake Qld
Latitude -14.7094400 (14° 42′ 34″ S)
Longitude 143.7322200 (143° 43′ 56″ E)

This is a birding hotspot, and if you have the money well worth staying here, otherwise you can access the lake (which is the main feature) from the road. The contrast between this pond and the ponds in the national park is stark and I think an indictment of the management of the National Park.
