Logue Brook Dam, WA: Swimming, fishing and camping at Lake Brockman
Lake Brockman on Logue Brook Dam, Western Australia, is a lovely spot for swimming, camping and kayaking. Mountain bikers and water skiers can have plenty of fun, too.
Logue Brook Dam in Western Australia is officially about water supply, but it has become a popular recreation spot, too.
