Lake Dora is a lake and also short-lived mining area of the late 1890s located in the West Coast Range of Western Tasmania. It has a surface level at 756m. It has two adjacent tarns just west of it, Maxfield and Michael Tarns, and numerous unnamed smaller lakes and water features. The nearest named features are Walford Peak (1009m) north west (approximately 1 km) and Farquhar Lookout (935m) (3 km) south west. It is 7 km north north west of Eldon Peak Located east of the Mount Tyndall area, it was the site of a transient gold-mining rush in the late 1890s. Lake Dora is not generally accessible by road, but only via trails or by helicopter. It lies north of Lake Spicer - into which it drains. Charles Whitham wrote of the mining rush: ''Lake Dora, Royal Dora, Lady Dora, North Dora, and, of course Dora Reward. The Government put in a good track from Mount Read, with a telephone line'' (1897). ==See also== *List of reservoirs and dams in Tasmania 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lake Dora (Tasmania)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
