Lake Dora is a lake and also short-lived mining area of the late 1890s located in the West Coast Range of Western Tasmania. It has a surface level at 756m.
It has two adjacent tarns just west of it, Maxfield and Michael Tarns, and numerous unnamed smaller lakes and water features.[1]
The nearest named features are Walford Peak (1009m) north west (approximately 1 km) and Farquhar Lookout (935m) (3 km) south west. It is 7 km north north west of Eldon Peak
Located east of the Mount Tyndall area, it was the site of a transient gold-mining rush in the late 1890s. Lake Dora is not generally accessible by road, but only via trails or by helicopter.
It lies north of Lake Spicer - into which it drains.
Charles Whitham wrote of the mining rush:[2][3] Lake Dora, Royal Dora, Lady Dora, North Dora, and, of course Dora Reward. The Government put in a good track from Mount Read, with a telephone line (1897).
