The loop road that circumferences Lake Albert is a truly special experience, be sure to stop at some of these destinations and take in the wonderful views!
Meningie
Nestled on the shores of Lake Albert, a visit to Coorong Cabins would not be complete without exploring some of the attractions of Meningie including:
- The Meningie Cheese Factory Museum preserves a range of farm machines, vehicles and implements that reflect agriculture and dairying in the Meningie region from days gone by.
- On the road between Tailem Bend and Meningie is the Pink Lake. The salty lake turns a beautiful shade of pink due to the presence of algae known as beta caratine. Stop at the Pink Lake and enjoy a photograph of your own.
- The award winning, Lions Walking Trail, takes in spectacular elevated views of Lake Albert and is set in preserved scrub land.
