Lake Moondarra

Queensland, Australia · built 1958

Lake Moondarra is an impounded reservoir formed by the Leichhardt River Dam, a concrete-faced rock-filled embankment dam across the Leichhardt River, located near Mount Isa in north-west Queensland, Australia. The dam was built in 1958 for the supply of potable water to the town of Mount Isa, 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) upstream, and water supply for the adjacent Mount Isa Mines (MIM) mining lease. Lake Moondarra is used for recreation purposes and includes picnic areas, pontoons, a ski jump, and water sports facilities. The lake is popular with birdwatchers, sailors and anglers.
