List of lakes of Australia

Natural freshwater lakes in Australia are rare due to the general absence of glacial and tectonic activity in Australia.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}}

Types

Most lakes in Australia fall within one of five categories. Excluding lakes and lagoons created by man-made dams for water storage and other purposes, one can identify the following:

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.{{cite book |title=The Snowy Mountains: A bushwalker's diary |last=Powell |first=Greg |year=1990 |publisher=Macstyle |location=Hampton, Victoria |isbn=978-1-875293-08-7 |pages=10 }} 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.
