About this location
If you’re looking for a peaceful spot to unwind on your outback adventure, cook up a barbecue and stretch your feet at the Peery Lake picnic area. You’ll have a view of Peery Lake, and maybe a surprise visit from local kangaroos and emus enjoying a feed.
When Peery Lake is full it transforms into a spectacular inland playground for water birds, and you can take a canoe out for a paddle. Even when dry, the lake bed is home to freshwater plants and animals. Hear the calls of pink cockatoos, mulga parrots, and red-backed kingfishers, and you might even spot the elusive grey falcon if you’re lucky.
May to November is the best time to visit, especially when winter rains bring a wonderful show of wildflowers in spring.
