Do you remember?

Long time residents in the region sent an email reflecting on locations from childhood...

RAAF crash boats, Lake Wellington and the 'Heart Landing'

My long time friend and I were only talking about this location today and the shed/slipway/small jetty on the lakes edge. We were at the Sale high together in the 60's and this was one of the many locations we would ride our bikes to on the weekend. I remembered it was to the south of the base but couldn't remember the name , nor the road and the satellite map doesn't show any structure, presumably now gone. We couldn't think of the name, so this is great. We remember it had a name but couldn't recall. I remember a sort of inlet/indent in the lakes edge, the ricketty jetty and the shed/hut structure at the end of it and the long ride home in a head wind. Sadly we didn't have a camera with us, so its just fading memories.

Does anyone have any details or photographs they would like to share and shed some light on this wonderful memory?
