Mount Isa, Australia
Lake Julius
The Julius Dam is a multiple-arch concrete-buttress dam across the Leichhardt River and Paroo Creek, 70 kilometres north-east of Mount Isa, in north-west Queensland, Australia. Completed in 1976, the impounded reservoir, Lake Julius, supplies water for irrigation and potable town water for Mount Isa and Cloncurry. The dam was named in honour of former Mount Isa Mines chairman and director Julius Kruttschnitt, who was instrumental in helping establish the mining industry in the region.
