Lake Connewarre
Lake Connewarre is a large estuarine shallow lake near the mouth of the
Barwon River near Geelong. To get to the best sailing area at Connewarre,
Follow the signs to Queenscliff through Geelong , go through Leopold and
take a right turn about 400 metres after the 70 km/h zone ends. Careful
here as there is a sign marking the road which says Lake Connewarre but
it is hard to see until you are right upon it! Take this road right to
the end and start sailing. This spot provides excellent flat water slalom
in the prevailing SW-W winds that we experience in Victoria. Not worth
the visit if the wind is northerly or easterly. Closest shops are West
Coast Water Sports in Bellarine St., Geelong and Strapper in Torquay.
