地理
乔治湖是一个内流湖,不過它沒有河流或是冰川供水,所以喬治湖的水到底從何而來目前還沒有人知道。 大约一百万年前,溪流从乔治湖流入亚斯河。后来,乔治湖的湖岸抬升,使得溪流被切断,乔治湖成为了内流湖。[1]
乔治湖最大深度为1.5-4.5米,但是大多数湖区只有0.8-1.0深,最深点为7.5米。乔治湖可以装下500,000,000立方(1.8×1010立方英尺)的水。

Lake George, one of the world's oldest lakes, is shallow and has a history of dramatically fluctuating water levels, despite being closed with no outlet. Originally there was no lake at all, and water drained from the Great Dividing Range west to the Yass River. That was before geological uplift, five million years ago, which formed the Lake George Range — a natural dam blocking the creeks.
