There is also a display of a huge steam powered alternator (which is surrounded by a fence). Immediately east of here is a water tap with bowl.
As you head westwards along the river, there are a number of grassy areas dotted with trees and unshaded tables. A nice feature of the walk are a number of information boards with historical information and there are a couple of viewing platforms.

Excellent food, nice water views. The cuisine, while Westernised to suit our lack of tolerence to hot food was fresh and tasty, I have been there 4 times now and cannot fault the quality of taste and freshness of this cuisine, very reasonable prices.

Wow, this charming little Italian pizzaria is easy to miss as it's tucked in between a wine bar and a busy cafe. We looked at the pizza selection and decided to try the salmon pizza. What an nice surprise to find this pizza was incredibly good! We'd give it five stars just for that, but we'd add bonus points for the friendly staff, comfortable seating inside, and air conditioning, a rare thing in Paynesville. Highly recommended.
