George has added another George to his list. Together with Darryl, George has visited lake George just outside the Australian capital Canberra .

“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.”

George also visited Perisher. Perisher is the largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere. it is located in the Australian Snowy Mountains. The resort is accessible by road and by the Skitube, Australia’s only underground rack railway.
