Thank you all for the inputs I have now got three options to solve the mysteries of lake George and its water levels (linkages to Central Australia ,New Zealand and Sumatra) plus one that had a strong element of scientific fact and logic to support it. See below for the one that I like the best.
Nah, you’re both wrong. It has a channel through to Lake Toba on Sumatra, one of the biggest volcanic craters in the world.
Margaret.
Actually the link is to Lake Taupo in NZ via a tunnel under the Tasman - it's well-established that when one is full, the other is empty.
On the other hand there are those tedious souls who insist that it's just down to a small local catchment area, plus a large evaporation area and shallow basin. Boring....
cheers anyway

Hi All – Lake George is a mystery to me with some suggestions there is a “drainage link” from it to central Australia – who knows!!!! I will be in Canberra over the next week so would be interested ( but I have no local knowledge) in joining a birding group to do some exploring in the area.
