Lake Beatrice (42°00′S 145°32′E / 42.000°S 145.533°E / -42.000; 145.533) is a lake on the lower eastern side of Mount Sedgwick in the West Coast Range of Western Tasmania. Being higher in altitude, is not visible from the level that Lake Burbury is at, but can be seen either from the air, or the higher slopes of the eastern part of Mount Lyell
It was a reference point for the never built Great Western Railway that was considered at the end of the nineteenth century
The name of the lake and adjacent ground is tied into exploration leases held in the area
The Lake Beatrice Conservation area starts in the location of Lake Beatrice and continues north to Lake Huntley and lake Rolleston, it is bordered on either side by the Tyndall Regional Reserve
Famous quotes containing the word lake:
“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
