The Mary River is an important part of the local community
- the location of annual public events, focus of research groups,
site of many Landcare and other revegetation projects, and ideal location
for camping and eco-style, low impact tourism. As illustrated by other
images on this website, Queensland dams are failing, and Traveston
Dam will be no different - the anticipated impact of a dam in this
area will bring none of the benefits that a free-flowing river already
provides.
