Lake Victoria is a fascinating place that embodies both Aboriginal and military history in addition to being a major water source for people in New South Wales, Victoria and other major towns and cities throughout South Australia.
In 1994 when the lake level was lowered for maintenance, a wealth of Aboriginal history was discovered. Artefacts such as campsites, stone tools, grindstones, shell middens and hearths along with extensive Aboriginal burial sites were uncovered. It was estimated that up to three or four thousand individual graves existed in the large burial grounds.
During World War II, Lake Victoria was used as a training ground for the Royal Australian Air Force. Six fatalities resulted from these activities and to this day two airmen and their aircraft remain missing in the lake bed.
For visitors to Lake Victoria there is a viewing point from which to overlook the magnificent lake.
