Hi Paula, this fascinating tourist spot has been in my life for as long as I can remember....the original owner of this land was my Great-Great-Grandfather,Capt. Thomas Lacey Lawson who farmed the land now under the reservoir.His son-in-law, Edward Gaston (his wife was Penelope Lacey Lawson), also farmed in this area - there is a stone cairn in a corner of the carpark area noting the information about Capt Thomas Lacey Lawson....this area was a favourite picnic destination for my family long before it became a tourist destination and I am pleased that so many people are now able to enjoy this wonder!

Hi Maureen
I am also a descendant of Capt. Thomas Lacey Lawson. Looking for more info about the past.

Wow! How fantastic is that? So many wonderful memories for you! Thankyou for sharing your story with me :)
