Blackburn Lake Sanctuary

Victoria, Australia

The Blackburn Lake Sanctuary is a 27-hectare (67-acre) bushland park located in Blackburn, an eastern suburb of Melbourne, in Victoria, Australia. Formally set aside as a park in 1965, the regenerated and remnant bushland surrounds a man-made lake that was created in 1889 by the damming of the Kooyongkoot Creek. The park sits on the traditional lands and waterways of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and is operated by the City of Whitehorse. The bushland park was added to the now defunct Register of the National Estate on an unknown date.
