Above: On this map the Lakes show as 2 small lakes
in the middle of the Map. If you are travelling from Lake Coleridge to Lake Lyndon, the turn off to the Red Lake/s is just past a small bridge on the left about 2k past the Ida/Olympus (Harper Road) turn off on the Lyndon Road Below: Unfortunately still in low resolution you can see the turn off after the bridge. |
