THE LADY
OF THE TIERS
Lady
Lake with Mother Cummings Peak in the distance.
Lady
Lake is an elegant lake a little more than 100 metres long. It sits
just near the edge of the Great Western Tiers above the small community of
Western Creek, a short drive south west of Deloraine. The lake is a
10 minute walk from Higgs Track. The track has historical
significance. It was the original access to the Central Plateau by
the early European settlers. Just near Western Creek the road from
Needles (on the Mole Creek road) or the Meander road a T junction is
encountered. Western Creek is a few hundred metres to the
left.
Westrope
Road is a few hundred metres to the right. A sign directs drivers to
the "Big Tree" which is near Higgs Track. From here the way is
well signposted. Watch for the sign a little over 4 kilometres up Westrope
Road.

away by the floods of 14th January 2011. The creek is usually easy to cross. |
