About this place
What to expect
Badu Dam is a peaceful part of the parklands where you can watch the waterbirds and soak up the serenity. Shale Hills includes walking and cycling tracks, if you do want to get active in nature, but you may decide to just sit by the water and unwind. Surrounded by weeping Melaleucas and nesting spots for waterbirds, this is the perfect oasis away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Enter the area from Moondarra Drive, Carmichael Drive, Mannow Avene, Twenty Third Avenue and Thirty Second Avenue, West Hoxton.
