The Lake Burbury is a reservoir in the west of the Australian state of Tasmania . It is located northwest of the Franklin Gordon Wild Rivers National Park .
It was formed by the damming of several rivers in the early 1990s, including mainly the King River and Princess River . The Andrew River , which actually flows over the Franklin River into the Gordon River , is also connected to the reservoir at its southern tip.
The lake is named after a former Tasmanian governor Stanley Burbury .
The Lyell Highway , which crosses the reservoir today, was moved several kilometers to the south in this area before construction, where the narrowest point for a bridge was found at '' Bradshaw ''.
Despite the frequently changeable weather, the lake is a popular fishing water, primarily for rainbow and brown trout .
