Lake Tyrrell
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lake Tyrrell is a shallow, salt-crusted depression located in the Mallee district of north-west Victoria. It is approximately 70 square miles (180 square kilometers) in size and is located 195 miles (314 kilometers) northwest of Melbourne. Much of the time, Lake Tyrrell is dry. However, the lake is occasionally fed by Tyrrell Creek. Situated on the lake's southern shores, Sea Lake is the closest major town to Lake Tyrrell. There is a salt extraction plant located in Sea Lake, processing the lake's salt deposits. In 1838, the Australian explorer, Edward Eyre, discovered Lake Tyrrell while searching for new grazing land.
