Ross River Dam, constructed in 1971, serves as a primary water source for Townsville, Australia. The dam features an earth-rock embankment 8.35 kilometers long and 27 meters high, the longest in the Southern Hemisphere. Its reservoir has a capacity of 250,000 megalitres, with a catchment area of 750 square kilometers. Visitors can view the dam from a platform at Ross Park, which also offers picnic and barbecue facilities. In February 2025, public access was restricted due to safety concerns.
