Burdekin Falls Dam
Dam·Queensland·Australia·
Field notes
Largest dam in Queensland, sitting on the Burdekin River south-west of Townsville. Sooty grunter on the rocky edges, barramundi in the timbered arms, with archerfish and saratoga in the shallows. Remote — come prepared.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
