Lake Tali Karng

Lake Tali Karng is the only natural lake in the Victorian Alps. It is fourteen hectares in size and was formed by a landslide 1500 years ago. The maximum depth of the lake is fifty one metres deep.

Barney and parts of his family hiked there during the Easter holidays of 2013.

The Tim incident
Before the hike, Tim Howe had said that he was going to come. However disaster struck a few days before the hike as Tim suddenly discovered that he was unable to come.



Unphased, the hikers went about their hiking and at Lake Tali Karng, Barney came up with a brilliant idea. He gathered a small rock and carried it back in his pack.

On the Tuesday after the hike, Barney met and went over to Tim's house. The rock was thrown at Tim, albeit in a rather gentle fashion. Barney also presented Tim with a photo of the hikers with Tim's head added atop a giant stick figure body.

The "Dam Good Bridge"
After getting fed up with the river crossings of the hike, Squishface Barnes, Barney and Squashface Barnes began throwing rocks angrily into the river next to the first campsite. The incredible theorem was soon proposed by Barney, that if we kept throwing rocks into the river, we could possibly dam the water flow. After many hours work, a cross-able bridge was developed, and was christened the "Dam Good Bridge" or the Bowerick Wowbridge by Squishface Barnes.
