This is one of my very favourite places.
Lake Alexandra is almost my best place in NSW. Every time we are passing through Mittagong we always stop for a walk around the lake. there are many birds to see as well as turtles, snakes and ducks by the million, it is quite unique. WE love the lake.

Lovely spot for a short walk or picnic
Lovely lake and easy, short walk around i, very close to main road. I was lucky enough to meet a local who pointed out a golden carp that always swims around the same spot, turtles and a water dragon on a fallen tree in the water, and the spot where usually a lizard group usually basks but didn't turn up today. This is a popular place for locals to walk their dogs. There is a lovely children's playground in front of the lake, and a toilet block. There's also some outdoor exercise equipment. I will make a point of dropping in here when passing through Mittagong, especially on a lovely, sunny day.

Back to "normal"
The lake was absolutely depleted over the summer. The fish suffered and the ducks had to find elsewhere. After much-needed rain, the lake is all but full and the wildlife is returning. Now ... if we could just stop people throwing bread rolls into the water, which only encourages the carp ...
