Located at the southern end of Lake Wivenhoe, Billie’s Bay and Hays Landing offer the perfect destination to spend a day by the water.
Enjoy a relaxing swim in the calm, cool waters of Billie’s Bay. Bring a fishing rod, launch your boat, kayak or canoe from the boat ramp adjacent to the swimming area.
Drive out to the spit at Hays Landing, set up a picnic and take in the breathtaking sunset over the waters of Lake Wivenhoe. Make use of the surrounding grounds for a friendly game of cricket, footy or soccer.
FACILITIES
