Bicentennial Lakes, Mareeba

Visited: all year round

Recommendation: These lakes are either fantastic or not. The area feels safe sometimes or not. It is worth checking out, with caution.

I will always visit the lake area of Mareeba when I am in town. At times I don't feel very safe here but it is still worth going. The lakes run for about half a kilometre behind, and parallel to the high street. You can walk around the northern end, from the creek down to Keeble Street. Crossing over there gives you more parkland and large trees. Over the years, I have seen over 60 species of bird here, everything from raptors to water birds and bush birds. All of the following photos were taken in this area.
