Gordon Dam
Lake Pedder, Southwest NP
 
Lake Pedder was once a beautiful natural lake with a magnificient beach.
Against the will of many citizens the lake was flooded in 1972 in order to be used
for power production together with the dammed Lake Gordon. Both lakes together
hold 27 times as much water as Sydney Harbour and are Australia's largest
freshwater reservoir. The lakes are part of the Southwest Nationalpark
which is mainly unknown wilderness.
