Recreation Lake at Bordertown
Australia

Panorama of the Recreation Lake in Bordertown, South Australia. Bordertown is located 275 kilometres east of Adelaide, 19 kilometres west of the Victorian border. The lake was constructed in 1987 when fill was required to build the approach embankments for the Tolmer overpass. The small town was first settled in the 1840s to set up a town where gold escorts could rest on their way from the Victorian goldfields to the port of Adelaide through the 90 mile desert.  Today Bordertown is a substantial service town and a much frequented stopover for interstate travellers between South Australia and Victoria.

More About Australia

There are no kangaroos in Austria. We're talking about Australia, the world's smallest continent. That being cleared up, let's dive right in! Australia is a sovereign state under the Commonwealth of Nations, which is in turn overseen by Queen Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. The continent was first sighted and charted by the Dutch in 1606. Captain James Cook of Britain came along in the next century to claim it for Britain and name it "New South Wales." Shortly thereafter it was declared to be a penal colony full of nothing but criminals and convicts, giving it the crap reputation you may have heard at your last cocktail party. This rumor ignores 40,000 years of pre-European human history, especially the Aboriginal concept of Dreamtime, an interesting explanation of physical and spiritual reality. The two biggest cities in Australia are Sydney and Melbourne. Sydney is more for business, Melbourne for arts. But that's painting in very broad strokes. Take a whirl around the panoramas to see for yourself! Text by Steve Smith.
