THE CENTRAL HIGHLANDS

Lake Augusta

 

 

The Great Lake and the surrounding area is better known for great fishing.

 

There is a hotel at the south western side of the lake at Miena.  There is a Rangers Station and picnic area further north at Liawenee.  There is an excellent information room and very clean rest rooms.

 

Heading off to the west from Lianweneeis a road to Lakes Augusta and Ada - along with an estimated 1,000 lakes further on!

 

The area has little scenic attraction.  However, there is a geomorphological feature known as 'Lunettes" near Lake Augusta.  They were formed by the side of some lakes after the last glacial period.  They are the only alpine Lunettes in Australia.
