Description
At Lake Eacham, Queensland. A diving tower and boating facilities were among the amenities provided at the Lake, which was formerly a popular civilian resort. Civilians mix freely with the troops and an atmosphere of peace and relaxation pervades the scene, which is reminiscent of those at bathing resorts on any day in the holiday season in the southern capitals, Queensland.
