Thanks for visiting. We hope this webpage will inspire you to visit our beautiful park at Newport Lakes in Newport, Victoria (Australia) – and maybe even inspire you to support us and become a member of our community group.
Friends of Newport Lakes is a volunteer group that has been active since 1997 with a mission to be at the forefront of maintaining, protecting and promoting respect for the whole of Newport Lakes.
On this webpage, you will find updates and stories related to Newport Lakes, as well as a bit of history about the park and information about our Friends of Newport Lakes group, which has been founded to help maintain and protect the Newport Lakes park and promote respect for the park’s flora and fauna.
