The accommodation
It is believed that the lake only formed within the last 160 years, the result of a series of natural events. Heavy rain and flooding of the Brown River filled the existing lake and surrounding swamps, before a scouring flash flood in Moolayember Creek transported large amounts of silt into the vicinity of the lake. When these waters reached the right-angle junction with the Brown River, turbulence caused the deposition of silt to form a natural levee bank at the lake's northern end.
