Introduction

Located in Ballarat, Victoria's third-largest city, Lake Wendouree is a man-made shallow city lake.

"Wendouree" means "go away" in the native language, derived from an interesting little story about William Crossville (William Cross Yuille), the founder of Ballarat. It is said that when Yu first arrived at Ballarat, she asked a local indigenous woman what the name of the swampy swamp was, and that's how she answered him.

Lake Wendouree区域最初是维多利亚州中部高地最小的一个综合性自然湿地,随着维多利亚州在19世纪50年代的淘金热潮,这里逐渐下沉,在19世纪60年代这里成为了一个颇受Ballarat市民欢迎的湖泊。现如今,Lake Wendouree对于Ballarat来说有着巨大的历史、环境和休闲娱乐价值。在1956年奥运会期间,曾经在这里举行了赛艇和皮划艇赛事。在历史记载中,这个潜水胡在干旱条件下曾经出现过干涸的情况,最近一次是在2006年至2011年间。

Lake Wendouree has vast forests and lawns along the edge, and good water quality has led to a large number of waterfowl living here, black swans, seagulls, black water chickens, and lots of unknown birds. The 6-kilometer-long path around the lake is a great place for people to walk, bike, run and exercise.
