m

Lake Corella is a concrete-faced (gunite) rockfill embankment dam built across the Corella River in north-western Queensland, Australia. Completed between 1956 and 1957, the resultant reservoir provides potable water for the Mary Kathleen Uranium Mine. The dam is located immediately south of the Barkly Highway, about 50 kilometres (31 mi) west of Cloncurry.
