Lake Leake, Tasmania

The lake is used for recreational fishing, for brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout. The village is built on land owned by the Northern Midlands Council. Inhabitants must purchase a license to have a building there, and are restricted in the number of days per year they can live there. The main purpose is to accommodate recreational anglers. Water flowing out from the lake has an electrical conductivity of 56 μS/cm. Rawlinna is a locality located between the south side of the lake and Lake Yaleena, another water impoundment. Lake Yaleena is a privately built dammed lake, specifically for fishing. It is a business that includes accommodation in cabins. ==History==

The traditional custodians of the area were the Peenrymairmemener clan of the North Midlands nation. The area was originally a wetland, or series of lagoons, and was transcribed by Europeans as koan.ner.we (written in palawa kani as kunawi). The area was described by contemporary colonial British as a "resort of the natives" - an Aboriginal meeting place, and contemporaries describe finding several Aboriginal huts in the area. The area contains remains of Aboriginal artefacts and a quarry where the Peenrymairmemener crafted stone tools. ==Climate==
