[edit] Spot the Error ?

The core of the park was created in 1955 as compensation for the flooding of Lake Pedder, and was originally called Lake Pedder National Park. Over the following 35 years the park was gradually extended and renamed, finally reaching its present size in 1990

  • Lake Pedder was not flooded in 1955
  • compensation for flooding Lake Pedder was -never- carried out (the hydro in fact became more rigorous on damming western Tasmania)

These sort of claims make the article very spurious.
