Lake Moondarra

---

We took a short drive out to MoondarraLakeon the LeichardtRiver, just 17kms north east of the city. To see so much sparkling blue water after all the dust and red sand was quite refreshing. Moondarra is an artificial lake constructed in 1956 and is the source of domestic water for the townspeople as well as providing water for the mines; it has a holding capacity of 107,000 mega litres. It offers the opportunity for a variety of water sport activities and we imagine that the lush green picnic areas would be well used throughout the year.
