Burra Lake a Vast Lagoon With Frogs and Swans
The Lands Department describes Burra Lake as 278 acres when full, usually dry, and overflow at the northeast end. Once Crown property, it is now privately owned by several neighbors. The area features dense reeds, abundant frogs, and serves as a feeding and nesting ground for wild fowl, though swans are not observed by the narrator. Visitors wade, watch, and joke about the hazards of the swamp including biting insects and deep holes, with field glasses as a pastime.
