This sunset photograph from October 2018 captures Lake Eildon’s distinctive character, with vibrant hues and varying water levels. Levels fluctuate due to rainfall, snowmelt, irrigation and power releases, and evaporation. Droughts, like the Millennium Drought, can cause severe declines, while heavy rainfall can lead to rapid rises. Lake Eildon is a key inland waterway in Victoria, supplying around 60% of the water used in the Goulburn-Murray Irrigation District.
Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.
