[edit]

The core of the park was created in 1955 as compensation for the flooding of Lake Pedder, and was originally called Lake Pedder National Park. Over the following 35 years the park was gradually extended and renamed, finally reaching its present size in 1990

  • Lake Pedder was not flooded in 1955
  • compensation for flooding Lake Pedder was -never- carried out (the hydro in fact became more rigorous on damming western Tasmania)

These sort of claims make the article very spurious.

South Cape Bay, Tasmania
South Cape Bay, located on the south-western shore of Tasmania, within Southwest National Park. The park is Tasmania's largest and forms part of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. The park is well-known for its pristine wilderness and remoteness. The southern and western reaches of the park are far removed from vehicular access, with access only by foot, boat, or light aircraft.Photo: JJ Harrison
