Although few signs are evident today, the lake has been touched by momentous events in the life of this young country. Illustrated with rare archival photographs, the book follows the history of human activity at the lake from the aboriginal hunters, fishers and trappers through the loggers, pioneer farmers, campers and fisheries research scientists to aviators who flew in and out with fishermen and canoeists until aircraft were banned.
There have been many deaths on the wind-lashed lake, which has its own ghost story.
