>From Wikipedia, Paradise was a ghost town on the Burnett River, in Queensland, Australia. The town was established as a gold mining centre and was abandoned once the gold ran out. The main reef on the goldfield extended for two miles along Finneys Creek. The town site is now inundated by Lake Paradise, formed by the construction of Paradise Dam on the Burnett River. A Town Reserve was proclaimed here on 20 July 1891. A post office opened on 3 April 1890 and closed about June 1905 Laraine
