Lake Terang was a lake near Terang, Victoria. Following European settlement of the area surrounding the lake in the 19th century the lake began to dry out. It was drained in the 1960s[1] and is now used as a recreation area, for agriculture and as part of the Terang Golf Course.[2][3]
The sediments of Lake Terang go back 350,000 years and are of significant interest for palaeoecology and the geologic history of western Victoria.[4][5][6]
