A panoramic view of Lake Pedder in South West Tasmania, the largest freshwater lake in Australia, as seen from Mount Eliza in Southwest National Park. The lake is actually an impoundment created by three separate dams built to generate hydro-electricity, incorporating a previous, smaller lake with the same name. It is named after John Pedder, the first Chief Justice of Tasmania.Photo: JJ Harrison
