Aroona Dam

Aroona dam was built to supply water to the Leigh Creek mine and provide water for the town. The area was declared a sanctuary in 1995. Yellow footed wallabies have been reintroduced and are breeding well.

Controlling foxes, dingos and feral cats has been a challange.

The mine was closed in 2016 and the town provided with an alternative water supply. The water is now used for tourism and conservation purposes.Leggi altro
