About Lake Grace

Welcome to our wide open spaces, salt lakes and stars. Enjoy a leisurely stroll down the streets of a country town where everybody says hello.

The shire stretches from Tarin Rock in the west to Hatters Hill in the east, and covers 11,890km2. The most notable features of the shire are the many natural shallow salt lakes - crystal white or beautiful shades of pink, green, tan and mauve. The lakes, rimmed by echidna and tall paperbark shrubs, host a unique range of flora and fauna. 

Travel the open road and take your time to see both the natural and farming landscapes or venture off the beaten track to see our wildlife - kangaroos, emus, echidna, wedge-tail eagles and, if you’re lucky, the mallee fowl. The area has a temperate climate and cool evening breezes in the summertime, so is ideal for travellers. Pathway To Wave Rock

When in the lakes country you will find a range of accommodation, dining and touring options to suit your budget. If you need directions or tour ideas just ask the friendly locals.
