Llyn Bochlwyd
Llyn Bochlwyd is a lake in Snowdonia, Wales, in Conwy County Borough. It lies in Cwm Bochlwyd, near Llyn Ogwen in the Glyderau mountain range.
The name of the lake means "Lake of the Greycheek". According to a local legend, where an old grey stag, fleeing a hunter, miraculously escaped by leaping from a great height into the lake and swimming to safety while holding its grey cheeks above the surface, in order to breathe.
The lake's shape is often thought to resemble that of Australia, which has led to some guidebooks calling it Lake Australia instead of its Welsh name. This has been criticised by Welsh comedian Tudur Owen as "erasing history".
