Hood’s Lagoon

After visiting the flood memorials we found the lagoon which I had read about previously. The lagoon is natural but has had a footpath/boardwalk constructed all the way around it (about 1.8km), along with statues and monuments to detail the history of Clermont as you walk around. It is also fully illuminated so can be walked around at night too! It was all very impressive for a small mining town and it turned out to be a beautiful walk. There were lots of birds around, but the highlight was when we spotted some little terrapins sunbathing at the side of the lagoon! They jumped in when they saw us so no photos but it was great to see them in the wild!
