Eastward, towards Cape Howe, lies a lovely little lake of fresh water, about two miles long and a mile or so wide. Beyond that again are the beautiful WauWakuka and Nadji Lakes .. remote and rarely visited.

            The way to the Freshwater lake from Mallacoota is across a level plain, with hummocks for one boundary, and hills as the opposite frame of the picture. Here the great gray kangaroo survives, and the black wallaby is frequent. At certain times of the year, December to April, particularly in dry seasons, wild duck are plentiful about the inlet, and bream, schnapper and other fish bite freely during the summer months.
