I have always been intrigued with the history of Lake Glenmaggie. The 1st settler to the area was Malcolm McFarlane in the 1850's. Other people followed him and Glenmaggie township was formed. In its peak Glenmaggie township had two hotels, three churches, a number of shops and a mechanical institute. By 1925 the whole township had been relocated because of the wall being built to make way for the Lake to ease water shortages. In the very dry years when the lake is very low, what was left over of the township can be still seen and people have driven over the bridges that are usually deep under water.
A popular spot for water skiing and recreational boating activities. There are 3 caravan parks spread out along the foreshore of the Lake and two boat ramps which can get very busy in the summer months.
The lake feeds the local farms for irrigation and except for the when the lake is full the foreshore makes for a very nice walk.
This is the 3rd cache in this Lake series. The cache is a black container with a swag for swaps.
Enjoy!
