Sacred volcanic fresh water crater lake with no crocodiles, or marine stingers. The grounds are quite busy most days with backpackers, other tourists, and locals going for a swim and a sunbake on the lawn beside the lake.

Sacred volcanic fresh water crater lake with no crocodiles or marine stingers. The grounds are quite most days and is a great spot for a swim with few people around. There is an old tea house with great views of the lake and a tour boat that circumnavigates the lake as well as a walking trail that circles the lake.
