Leslie Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Leslie Dam is a concrete gravity dam across Sandy Creek, a tributary of the Condamine River, in the epyonomous settlement of Leslie Dam, near Warwick, in the Southern Downs region of Queensland, Australia. Completed in 1965 to form Lake Leslie, the reservoir provides irrigation to approximately 124 square kilometres (48 sq mi) of farm land in the region, and supplies potable water to Warwick and surrounding settlements. Operated by SunWater, the dam was named after Patrick Leslie (1815–1881), an early settler in the region and the first person to buy land in Warwick.
