Liawenee is a small town in Tasmania, Australia built near Great Lake and the River Ouse, and was established on 11 June 1920. The town is known for its fishing at nearby Great Lake and hosts several fishing events. ==Origins== Liawenee's name was derived from a Tasmanian Aboriginal word meaning 'frigid'. It was founded in June 1920 as a camp for the workers at the nearby hydro-electric undertaking as well as some other towns such as Miena. In its humble beginnings the population consisted entirely of the workers at the hydro-electric plant and their families; the houses were wood and canvas.〔()/11477213?searchTerm=Liawenee+settlement〕 In this time the camp boasted three cottages where married couples lived, and a so-called hospital that was only twice the size of a house making it more of a first aid clinic. The original layout included blacksmiths, bakeries and a chaff store which made up the requirements for a workforce making it a work camp rather than a village. During the Second World War the town became much larger, but settlers consisted mainly of men who were paid for their work yet could find no place to spend the money, nor a place to deliver mail.〔() The developing Tasmanian mountain towns〕 The first Liawenee Post Office opened on 1 October 1919 and closed in 1922. The second opened on 2 February 1948 but closed in 1953. At present Liawenee consists of a police station and several buildings. 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「Liawenee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
