List of lakes of Australia

Types

• coastal lakes and lagoons including perched lakes;
• natural freshwater inland lakes, often ephemeral and some part of wetland or swamp areas;
• the Main Range containing mainland Australia's five glacial lakes. In Tasmania, due to glaciation, there are a large number of natural freshwater lakes on the central plateau, many of which have been enlarged or modified by hydro-electric developments;
• predominantly dry, salt lakes in the flat desert regions of the country lacking organised drainage; and
• lakes created in volcanic remnants.
