Lake Dunn (also "The Lake" or "Pajingo Bola", meaning "Big Fella Waterhole") is a freshwater lake in Queensland, Australia. The local council have gone to some trouble to render the shores attractive and provide picnic facilities. The foreshores have good stands of red river gums and coolibahs and, in recent years, it has become a popular destination for locals. However, in spite of the council's best efforts, the lake is muddy in appearance and therefore of greatest appeal to birdwatchers and nature lovers. The current shoreline of Lake Dunn represents only a small area of the original lakebed.
