Suburb of Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia
Lake Eacham is a rural locality in the Tablelands Region , Queensland , Australia.[2] In the 2021 census , Lake Eacham had a population of 459 people.[1]
Geography [ edit ]
The locality is bounded to the west and south-west by Lake Barrine Road and to the south-east by Malanda Creek.[3]
The locality presumably takes its name from the waterbody Lake Eacham in the north-west of the locality (17°17′04 ″S 145°37′31 ″E / 17.2845°S 145.6252°E / -17.2845; 145.6252 (Lake Eacham (Queensland) ) ). The name of the lake is believed to be an Aboriginal word ''yeetcham'' meaning ''big spring''.[4] The lake and its surrounds are within the Crater Lakes National Park .[5]
There is rural residential housing to the south and east of the national park. However, the predominant land use in the locality is grazing on native vegetation.[3]
History [ edit ]
The land in the area was surveyed in 1886 with farm lots being offered for sale in 1889.[6] [7]
Lake Eacham State School opened on 1911. It was built by the Sydes Brothers,[8] who were chosen from the tenders called in September 1910.[9] A teacher's residence was built in 1917.[10] In 1919, it was renamed Peeramon State School. It closed in 1959.[11] It was at 107 Mckenzie Road (corner Peeramon School Road, 17°18′36 ″S 145°37′26 ″E / 17.3099°S 145.6239°E / -17.3099; 145.6239 (Peeramon State School ) ) in neighbouring Peeramon .[12] [13]
