Tiwal 2 on Storm King Dam, Australia.
A day on Storm King Dam, bringing awareness to the Australian drought. The TIWAL 2 makes a debut sailing on the inland dams of Australia with a commentary from a local reporter from Stanthorpe. The TIWAL is ideal for travelling through Australia and sailing in many new destinations. A great boat for family, learning to sail or for experienced sailors who want a portable, quick to assemble sailing dinghy.
Storm Dam near Stanthorpe, Qld., Australia
History
The dam takes its name from the Storm King Mining Company which was established by John Yaldwyn and James Ross, who built an earlier dam for mining purposes. The company, in turn, took its name from the sailing ship Storm King, on which they migrated to Australia, arriving 9 February 1872.
The present dam was first proposed in 1928 but was not built until 1954 by the Stanthorpe Shire Council. It had filled by February 954. Following local government area amalgamations in 2008, the dam is currently operated by the Southern Downs Regional Council. It supplies water both to residents of Stanthorpe and to irrigators. The dam is increasing proving inadequate to meet the needs of the community it serves during drought periods. In 2007, Storm King Dam was carrying as little as two months supply.
Geography
Storm King Dam was created from Quart Pot Creek which is the only inflow and outflow of the dam.
Amenities
Storm King Dam is available for recreational use, including fishing, water sports, bird watching and picnics. Fish in the dam include golden perch and Murray cod. The lake attracts many water birds including pelicans. Barbeques and other picnic facilities are available. Boating is permitted on the lake, but motor boards require a permit.

Australian Drought Crises, Running out of Water
Australian Drought Crises, Running out of Water,
Again I like to share another video. I posted a photo on FaceBook DL Photography of Storm King Dam in Stanthorpe and like to follow it up with this video.
I hope this video will show we need to conserve water while we are in this gripping drought. Until we get some drought-breaking rain, we need to watch how we use our water.
Also, we need some forward-thinking people to make this country drought-proof as our towns and cities are growing, and the demand for water will increase.
I hope that my photos and videos will get people talking and thinking about how important water is.
I hope you all enjoy this video.
