By George…

Lake George is an interesting phenomenon along the long drive from Sydney to our nations Capital city (Canberra). It is an Endorheic lake, as it has no outflow of water to rivers and oceans and it is also long (25 x 10km), largely flat and extremely shallow, with a very small catchment. Resultant evaporation rates as well as a tendency for strong winds to blow the water back on itself explain the mysterious filling and drying episodes on both short term (hours) and long term (years) time scales that have been observed.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
