Wendouree is the best suburb in Ballarat

I went to school in Ballarat and spent a lot of time rowing on lake Wendouree. There are a few small islands near the Botanic gardens which would be fun to paddle around.

We will have to try them next time Rick. It's great there are so many pontoons to launch off.

@@supingabout7182 There also used to be channels they'd cut through the reeds in the centre of the lake. I don't know if it's still like that though.
