Options listed include Barron River, Mulgrave aquifer, dead storage at Copperlode Dam, upgrade freshwater capacity and upgrade of Behana Ck intake. Currently the main additional water source targets are Mulgrave aquifer and Lake Placid (Barron River) water treatment plants (WTP). We present a cost and environmentally superior alternative which is to access the (East) Mulgrave River at the back of Bellenden Ker Mountain via a tunnel from the coastal plane. First we present a stream-fl ow model for the catchment of the East Mulgrave River above 600 m and show that suffi cient water is available at that point for a water intake. This model is based on recent rainfall and cloud- stripping research by Dr David McJannet performed on Mount Bellenden Ker. Second we pres- ent a costing model for the construction of a one-lane, 6.5 km vehicular tunnel from the base of the mountain near Bellenden Ker township to the back of the mountain at 600 m, and associated infrastructure.

  • The Bellenden Ker Television Project

    The Bellenden Ker Television Project

    Journal of Telecommunications and the Digital Economy The Bellenden Ker Television Project Simon Moorhead Ericsson Australia and New Zealand Abstract: Two historic papers from 1974/75 detailing the construction of the Bellenden Ker television broadcasting station in far north Queensland. Keywords: history, telecommunications, broadcasting, Mt Bellenden Ker Introduction Flying into Cairns is a wonderful experience with the Bellenden Ker Range (part of the Great Divide) to the west, separating the narrow wet tropical coastal plains from the rolling Atherton Tablelands inland. This mountain range is the highest in Queensland with two peaks over 1,500 metres above sea level, namely Bartle Frere South Peak at 1,615 metres and Bellenden Ker Centre Peak at 1,582 metres. The range is aligned in such a way as to intercept the prevailing south-easterly winds, resulting in the highest average rainfall in Australia. Mt Bellenden Ker has recorded an average of over eight metres of rain annually and a maximum annual rainfall of more than 12 metres (Lavarack, 2015). If the weather is clear, you may catch a glimpse of the communications tower on Mt Bellenden Ker as you descend into Cairns. This is one of the most unique television broadcasting stations in Australia. For those of us who were lucky enough to work in broadcasting in the 1970’s, the station on Mt Bellenden Ker has an almost mythical status. Purpose-built in the wettest place in Australia, capable of withstanding tropical cyclones with winds over 200 km per hour, it is fully remote controlled from Cairns (the first of its kind) and only accessible by helicopter or its own private aerial cableway, which rises 1,500 metres from the coastal plain over a run of 5km.
