• Notes:
  Lake Tyrrell is a shallow, salt-crusted depression in the Mallee district of north-west Victoria. The name is derived from the local Wergaia word for ‘sky’, the Boorong Aboriginal people of the area being distinguished for their interest in star-lore. During dry periods, people can walk on to the lake area by using places where salt has formed a solid surface. Salt was first harvested from Sea Lake in 1896. By 1900 Lascelles company was turning a profit but this was destroyed by droughts and pests. In 1963-64 Cheetham Salt took up a number of leases on Lake Tyrrell.
