Cooktown Trip (Group 58) - The Quaid Dam North of Mareeba, Far North Queensland, Late Afternoon
This dam was built for a farming venture and a road bulldozed through to the coast about 25/30 years ago. I understand the road is in fairly good condition, and with work done on it could be an alternative route to the coast from the northern Atherton Tablelands. However the current Queensland Government refuses to do anything about it because of idealogical (sp) positions it holds (aka "stubbornness"). All remains in limbo with gates put across the road.
Anyway I was here at late afternoon and the western sun was strong off the water and I was facing west. It was hard to take the photos. 5 photos showing the area. I will post one more set of 5 and that will conclude the Cooktown adventure that I have been posting on for 2 years.
