Lake Burley Griffin is an artificial lake in the centre of Canberra, Australia's federal capital city. It was created in 1963 after the Molonglo River, which ran between the city centre and Parliamentry Triangle, was dammed. It is named after Walter Burley Griffin, the architect who won the design competition for the city of Canberra.
