Fred Haigh Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Fred Haigh Dam (also called Monduran Dam) is a rock-filled embankment dam across the Kolan River, located near Gin Gin, in the Bundaberg Region of Wide Bay–Burnett, Queensland, Australia. The dam was completed in 1975 for the purpose of irrigation of adjacent farming lands for the cultivation of sugar crops and created Lake Monduran. The dam is named after Frederick Haigh, the Queensland's Commissioner of Irrigation and Water Supply from 1955 to 1974. The Monduran Dam, under construction at the time of his death, was named in his honour upon completion.
