Lake Eacham - a photo on Flickriver

Lake Eacham

This is one of the crater lakes on the Atherton Tablelands.

The NPWS website has this to say about its formation:

"The volcanic features of the landscape on this part of the Atherton Tableland are between 10,000 (Pleistocene) and two million (Pliocene) years old. Lake Eacham is a maar—a volcanic crater formed by two massive explosions from superheating of groundwater. This vent now forms the catchment of the lake and is 65m deep. Some of the original underlying sedimentary rocks occur today as metamorphics outcropping in parts of the crater rim. No streams flow into or out of the lake, with water only lost through seepage and evaporation. The water level can fluctuate 4 m between wet and dry seasons."

Aboriginal stories of the lakes formation match the geological records, showing just how well the oral traditions of the indigenous tribes work.
