Ibis Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Ibis Dam, officially known as the Ibis Creek Dam, is a gravity dam across the Ibis Creek that serves as a water supply for the town of Irvinebank, in Far North Queensland, Australia. Completed in 1906 by John Moffat, a mining entrepreneur, its construction was supervised by Tom Brodie, a Scottish stonemason. The dam is located about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of Irvinebank, connected by a 1.4-kilometre (0.87 mi) pipeline that runs north-west from the dam to supply two reservoirs located on a ridge above the town. Supply of water is gravity fed to each property within Irvinebank. The dam has been stabilised twice, in 1997 and most recently in 2013.
