THERESA CREEK DAM

WHAT WE HAD EXPECTED

MONDAY 19.9.2011: The information read "Camp spot 22 km SW of Clermont. See Caretaker." Sounded idealic, our sort of retreat - driving along our expectations rose, then we arrived! Car park was full, boat ramps, marinas, caravans as far as the eye could see, amenities and an enormous playground just packed with children. There was water skiing, boats speeding with the kids being towed screaming behind and oh by the way, school holidays have just started! As it had taken time to travel and it only cost $10.00 per night we stayed the two nights.

REALITY!

Theresa Creek Dam was constructed by the Blair Athol Coal Project in 1983. Built to ensure a reliable water supply for Clermont, the lake behind the dam wall covering an impressive 300 hectares. We made our way to "the other side" of the dam where car port like structures have been erected. Select one that is vacant, park and take up residence - excellent idea!
