The drive in March this year from New Norfolk where we were staying was a good one. We arrived at Lake Pedder in the south west of the Island about lunch time. No shops to buy anything, so I had packed a lunch. It rained along the way and had just stopped in time to take these photos from the viewing platform.
The photos are similar to each other yet different. A man standing next to us said the view reminded him of lakes in Scotland.
Lake Pedder was once a natural lake, located in the southwest of Tasmania, Australia but the name is now used in an official sense to refer to the much larger artificial impoundment and diversion lake formed when the original lake was expanded by damming in 1972 by the Hydro Electric Commission of Tasmania.
The new Lake Pedder has an area of about 242 km and it is considered to be the largest freshwater lake in Australia.
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm always impressed by lakes. We've got only two lakes, both are famous and called... Sea. Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee) The salt lake , near the desert - The Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth.
Oh yes, have certainly heard of the Sea of Galilee and The Dead Sea:)
DeleteHere in Tasmania we have many lakes some not accessible.
It does look fairly similar to Scotland but their mountains are much higher.
ReplyDeleteWell there you are, our mountains are not that high at all compared to other parts of the world.
DeleteIt was a dismal day there the day we were there.
Absolutely beautiful!!! I wish - again... I could go there one day!
ReplyDeleteOne day you might, just one day :)
DeleteThe lake and beach both are beautiful and look so peaceful!
ReplyDeleteWhen there is no breeze you can hear a pin drop :)
DeleteSehr schön die Bilder vom See und vom Strand.

DeleteHello Margaret, I am a first-time visitor who stopped in from reading a comment on Duta's blog. So glad I did because these images of your holiday were so beautiful. It was good to see your comment on Duta's recent post that the virus numbers are just about non-existent where you live and hope that continues to be the case. I will be reading some of your earlier posts and also invite you to stop by to my blog for a visit as "company" is always welcomed with an open door.

Thank you for that information, looking at photos is not quite the same on a phone but better than not seeing at all.
DeleteSo pleased you have your computer fixed :)
Take care.
That would be a great spot to have a little log cabin...to be living in a little log cabin. It would suit me, that is for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice but it would be rather cold and very isolated.
DeleteTake care.
Its a big and beautiful lake. Happy day.
ReplyDeleteIt is Nancy, very big.
