Lake Tinaroo is a unique area in Queensland, Australia. It's mostly covered by a large lake, also called Lake Tinaroo, which was created by a dam. This area is known for being very quiet, with almost no people living directly within its boundaries.
What is Lake Tinaroo?
This special place is mostly water! It includes the big Lake Tinaroo itself. This lake was formed when the Tinaroo Dam was built. The area also covers the edges of the lake, called the foreshores, and some of the small rivers and streams that flow into the lake. Because of this, Lake Tinaroo is considered a "water locality" with very little land.
Learning at Lake Tinaroo
Even though not many people live here, Lake Tinaroo is an important place for learning. The Tinaroo Environmental Education Centre is located here. This centre helps students learn about nature and the environment. It's a great place for outdoor education, where kids can explore and understand the natural world around the lake. You can find this centre on Black Gully Road.
