Little Blue Lake II
Yesterday I finished by showing you one end of the Little Blue Lake. This is the other end. This long narrow and deep lake is the result of water flooding the old tin mining digs which ceased operation in the 1980s. Since then much work has been done with re-forestation. The colour of the water (as I explained in the previous photograph) is a result of the minerals leaching from the granite gravels and the white kaolin clay. They are highly toxic, so no swimming here.
