Let's Checkout Lake Barrine, Crater Lakes National Park Queensland Australia
Lake Barrine is a freshwater lake located within the Crate Lakes National Park on the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, Australia. It is close to Lake Eacham within the same National Park. The largest of the natural volcanic lakes in the area, Lake Barrine is 730 m (2,395 ft) above sea level. It is about 1 km (0.62 miles) in diameter, with a shoreline of almost 4.5 km (2.8 miles) and an average depth of 65 m (213 ft). No streams or springs feed the crystal clear lake; it is filled only by rainwater. During the wet season a small creek flows out of the lake.
As with Lake Eacham, Lake Barrine was formed over 17,000 years ago when a large volcano erupted, leaving a crater that over time filled up with water to create a lake. The crater or maar was formed as a result of a series of volcanic explosions. These explosions were caused by the hot molten rock coming into contact with groundwater. This caused a build-up of steam, gases and pressure which blasted the central core from the volcano. This massive explosion left a huge crater, which filled with rainwater to create Lake Barrine.
Some 80 m (87 yd) along the walking track there are 2 Bull Kauri (Agathis microstachya) a species of conifer in the Araucariaceae family, endemic to Australia. It has a very restricted distribution, being almost limited to the Atherton Tableland in Far North Queensland, with its elevational range 400–900 m (1,300–3,000 ft) above sea level. They grow up to about 50 m (160 ft) in height and 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) in diameter. The trunk is unbuttressed, straight and with little taper. Distinctive features are coarse, flaky bark, medium-sized cones with 160-210 scales, and leaves with numerous longitudinal, parallel veins.

Let's have a look around Atherton QLD Australia
Atherton is the largest service centre at the heart of the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland, Australia. The town was first settled by Europeans in the early 1880s as a camp for cedar-cutters. It was first called Prior’s Pocket. Later, in 1885, it was surveyed and renamed Atherton after John Atherton who drove cattle into the area. Town lots were sold in 1886. Atherton became a stopover point from the coast to the Herberton tin fields.
In 1903 the Post Office replaced the receiving office which was established in 1889.
In the 1880s substantial Chinese population lived around the town working the rich soils of the area producing vegetables for the miners.
Over the years Atherton has been the centre for a number of industries on the Tablelands. The rich, red volcanic soils of the area (estimated to be over 30-m deep) have been used to produce maize, potatoes, peanuts, macadamia nuts and avocados. The town has also been important to the local dairy industry with a butter factory opening in 1909 and a large dairy co-operative
The Atherton Magistrate’s Courthouse was constructed in 1941 and was used as a wartime hospital for officers during World War II and has air raid bunkers beneath the building
