Discover the varying features of the hinterland in your own way, in your own time. Experience the 4WD routes as a full day trip or stay overnight for a more leisurely journey. Try bush camping in the National Park and Boyne Valley, or rest in comfortable accommodation in Gladstone City, Biloela, Monto, Agnes Water/1770 and surrounding towns.

  • Sunwater Dams Sunwater Makes a Significant Contribution to the Rural, Industrial, Energy, Mining and Urban Development of Queensland by Providing Water Solutions
    SunWater Dams SunWater makes a significant contribution to the rural, industrial, energy, mining and urban development of Queensland by providing water solutions. Over the past 80 years, SunWater has designed and managed the construction of 30 of Queensland’s dams, 82 weirs and barrages, 39 reservoirs and balancing storages and rural and bulk water infrastructure systems. Currently, SunWater owns and manages 19 dams in Queensland and each dam has been strategically built in existing river, stream or creek locations to serve the needs of the region. A dam is a critical component of a water supply scheme which can be made up of weirs and barrages, pumping stations, pipelines and channels, and drains. The overall scheme is designed to supply water for various purposes including town water supply, irrigation, electricity production, industrial i.e. power stations, mines, stock and groundwater supply. Water Supply Scheme Pipeline Industrial & Mining Dam Drain Pumping Station Channel Legend Balancing Storage SunWater Infrastructure Purpose of Water Supply Weir Irrigation Town Barrage Water Supply Dam Types The type of dam is defined by how the dam wall was constructed. Depending on the surrounding environment, SunWater dams can be described as one or more Scheme of the following: Pipeline Cania Dam Boondooma Dam Wuruma Dam Paradise Dam Julius Dam EMBANKMENT CONCRETE FACED MASS CONCRETE ROLLER COMPACTED MULTIPLE ARCH Industrial & Mining ROCKFILL GRAVITY CONCRETE GRAVITY CONCRETE Constructed as an Constructed as an BUTTRESS embankment of well Constructed using a Constructed in horizontal embankment of compacted Constructed as concrete compacted clay (earthfill) some large volume of layers of dryer than normal free-draining granular earth horizontal arches supported with rock on the faces (rockfill).

Around Katherine Exploring Nitmiluk 12 and Katherine Gorge by land, air and water The Overhang: Cania Gorge The Road Trip Ends Full Circle At the end of April our four-month road trip in Kinquaid came to an end. The 3327 kilometers we travelled in April was the final 19 Back in Darwin – now tranche of a 19,000 kilometer journey that for the big clean up! has traversed six states or territories. In the last weeks of this land-based stint we climbed mountains, explored gorges, went underground with the bats and flew with the birds. © Trish Ebert purringalong.com.au Biggenden to Darwin Aboard Sengo April 2017 Biggenden to Darwin There are two main things I noticed in April. One, it hardly rained, and two, the days got shorter, and whereas a couple of months ago I would have been up when the cats asked for breakfast at a very light 0530, it is now not light until way after 0700 and I am getting up in the dark. We finally left Biggenden (when the locals let us go) and headed north, popping into Cania Gorge for a few days, and then Emerald for a few more. We had one night in Longreach and then a very long trip to Mount Isa where we were stuck waiting for the mail. From Mount Isa there were a series of hops west then north before a longer penultimate stop in Katherine. Our final and ultimate destination was Darwin and home to Sengo.

  • An Economic Assessment of the Value of Recreational Angling at Queensland Dams Involved in the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme
    An economic assessment of the value of recreational angling at Queensland dams involved in the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme Daniel Gregg and John Rolfe Value of recreational angling in the Queensland SIP scheme Publication Date: 2013 Produced by: Environmental Economics Programme Centre for Environmental Management Location: CQUniversity Australia Bruce Highway North Rockhampton 4702 Contact Details: Professor John Rolfe +61 7 49232 2132 [email protected] www.cem.cqu.edu.au 1 Value of recreational angling in the Queensland SIP scheme Executive Summary Recreational fishing at Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) dams in Queensland generates economic impacts on regional economies and provides direct recreation benefits to users. As these benefits are not directly traded in markets, specialist non-market valuation techniques such as the Travel Cost Method are required to estimate values. Data for this study has been collected in two ways in 2012 and early 2013. First, an onsite survey has been conducted at six dams in Queensland, with 804 anglers interviewed in total on their trip and fishing experiences. Second, an online survey has been offered to all anglers purchasing a SIP licence, with 219 responses being collected. The data identifies that there are substantial visit rates across a number of dams in Queensland. For the 31 dams where data was available for this study, recreational anglers purchasing SIP licences have spent an estimated 272,305 days fishing at the dams, spending an average 2.43 days per trip on 2.15 trips per year to spend 4.36 days fishing per angler group. Within those dams there is substantial variation in total fishing effort, with Somerset, Tinaroo, Wivenhoe and North Pine Dam generating more than 20,000 visits per annum.
