It’s mid-summer and Lake Richmond water levels are down, so Bugs thought we should spend a few days showing the low level so the increases after winter rains can be appreciated.

This is the drain leaving the lake at the north western corner heading off towards Point Peron just before it goes it goes under Safety Bay Road, the pipe that crosses is a great level indicator.

There has been no rain recorded at the nearby Garden Island BOM site since November 2025.
