The dam wall here is on the Burnett River and the reservoir has flooded the old town of Paradise, hence the name of the dam wall and the lake. I'm not sure whether the Tropical Depression that was 'Olga' in Far North Queensland is still influencing the weather here but we are still receiving a lot of rain. We have had one really beaut day, the remainder of the time has been breezy and/or raining. But, what else would you expect in a Queensland Summer. The camp here is good and the amenities are good too, but there is not much to do if you don't have a boat with you. There is limited bird life, limited photo opportunities, and limited walks. Four days is probably about the time limit here unless you have a good library.

The camp amenities for campers and day visitors alike.

The view from the same look-out back towards the camp ground and boat ramp. You can make out our camp behind the trees on the left of the photo.
Not much to see behind the dam wall! No water flowing.
There is a fish ladder installed at the dam wall, I'm not sure if this is it or not?
Lizzie woke us early, as usual, and I got these clear photos, this is looking up river towards Mingo Crossing 26 km away.
