点评:We had the most incredible time at Lake Lascelles in Hopetoun over Christmas and New Year’s! It’s an absolute gem of a place, perfect for families. We spent our days fishing, skiing, swimming in the lake, and cooling off at the local pool. The atmosphere was amazing, and it’s no wonder it was so busy.
We camped in one of the non-powered sites and happily donated $10 per night. While some people consider it free camping, it’s important to recognize the value of the facilities and the effort that goes into maintaining this spot. For powered sites, it’s just $30 per night, which is a bargain—though they book out quickly, so plan ahead!
The toilets and showers were impressively clean, especially considering the number of visitors. Knowing this is all managed by volunteers makes it even more remarkable. Let’s support their efforts by contributing to keep this place thriving for everyone to enjoy.
We enjoyed cold beers and great meals at the local pub, which added to the holiday experience. Strolling through the streets in the early morning before the heat set in, grabbing a coffee from the bakery or one of the cafés, and shopping at the newsagency and local stores was such a treat. Supporting these small businesses is so important to help keep them alive for future visitors and the community.
There’s no shortage of activities here! The town boasts tennis courts, bowling greens, a golf course, and so much more. For those who love adventure, the cooler months are perfect for exploring the 4WD tracks in Wyperfeld National Park nearby.
We were lucky enough to celebrate New Year’s Eve at the lake, an event brilliantly organized by the community. It was a fantastic night full of life and energy—huge kudos to everyone involved!
I’ve heard Easter is another peak time here, and I can’t wait to return. Lake Lascelles is a must-visit destination, and it’s thanks to the hardworking volunteers and the welcoming local community that it remains such a special place.
翻译:圣诞节和新年期间,我们在霍普顿的拉塞尔斯湖度过了最难忘的时光!这里绝对是个宝地,非常适合家庭游玩。我们在那里钓鱼、滑雪、在湖里游泳,在当地的游泳池里消暑。这里的氛围很棒,难怪这里如此热闹。
我们在一个没有供电的营地露营,每晚很乐意捐赠 10 美元。虽然有些人认为这是免费露营,但重要的是要认识到这些设施的价值以及维护这个地方所付出的努力。对于有供电的营地,每晚只需 30 美元,这很划算——尽管很快就会被预订一空,所以要提前计划!
厕所和淋浴间非常干净,尤其是考虑到游客的数量。知道这一切都是由志愿者管理的,这让它更加引人注目。让我们支持他们的努力,为这个地方的繁荣做出贡献,让每个人都能享受。
我们在当地的酒吧享用了冰镇啤酒和美味的食物,这为假期体验增添了色彩。在炎热天气来临之前,清晨漫步在街道上,从面包店或咖啡馆里买杯咖啡,在报刊亭和当地商店购物,真是一种享受。支持这些小企业非常重要,可以帮助它们为未来的游客和社区服务。
这里不乏活动!该镇拥有网球场、草地滚球场、高尔夫球场等等。对于那些热爱冒险的人来说,凉爽的月份非常适合探索附近 Wyperfeld 国家公园的四驱车道。
我们很幸运能在湖边庆祝新年前夜,这是社区精心组织的活动。这是一个充满生机和活力的美妙夜晚——向所有参与者致以崇高的敬意!
我听说复活节是这里的另一个高峰期,我迫不及待地想再来一次。拉塞尔斯湖是一个必游之地,多亏了辛勤工作的志愿者和热情的当地社区,它才得以保持如此特别的地位。
