The phrasing is too similar for me ... "Forrestdale Lake was an important tortoise hunting site for Aboriginal people from as far away as Pinjarra (50 km south), and campsites at the Lake were occupied for extended periods." Is nearly word perfect. Victuallers (talk) 19:59, 1 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

Conflating the lake and the nature reserve

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

This article conflates the lake and the nature reserve. However, the nature reserve extends beyond the boundaries of the lake. Suggest article is renamed to name of reserve as a start. Betterkeks (talk) 03:24, 30 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
