Crowds of people are travelling to central Victoria to visit Lake Eppalock, the formerly dry lake that is now flowing over the spillway.

The Bendigo Advertiser reported that City of Greater Bendigo Executive Manager of Tourism Kathryn McKenzie as saying that the restored lake has attracted an array of visitors and has filled caravan parks that have been empty since the drought, McKenzie statting âit has lifted the spirits, lifted a lot of families who are coming back for leisure and boating activities.
âThis is certainly good for the lake and the surrounding areas.
âServices such as garages, newsagents and food outlets all experience some of the benefits.�?
Heathcote Visitor Information Centre co-ordinator Fiona McClure said work in the areas for traders had increased and inquiries to the centre were on the rise, adding âtalking to traders ... trade has been constant over the weekend.�?
