Lake Bolac & District Historical Society
Colour photograph, Aerial view of Lake Bolac and village. After the rain, 2010
Aerial view of Lake Bolac after the drought had broken in late 2010. The fresh-water lake is now full, as are the wetlands. Note the edge of the salt-lake in the bottom right, the Industrial Estate bottom left and centre, the golf course, the current footy oval, Bowling Club, tennis courts and swimming pool with the P-12 College through the trees on the bank of the lake. An Archaeologist might be able to discern the original footy oval bottom centre, built on what was once the town Common (below the industrial buildings),and the second oval (above the salt lake.) The houses are spreading along the west bank of the lake beyond the school.lake bolac, 2010, village, fresh-water lake, salt lake, golf, tennis, bowling, swimming, college, -
