Hey Lapdog, While we're back on the subject of dams, Joh built the Eungella Dam back of Mackay to provide reliable water for the Collinsville Power Station, it wound up supplying water for the Bowen Basin coalfields until it couldn't keep up the supply and water then had to be piped from the Burdekin Dam, built by..." Silly old Joh"! So the coal kept coming and Qld Labor kept spending and the miners kept getting their fat pay checks, and very rarely does anyone give a bit of credit where it is due. No, my glasses are not rose tinted , but Shakespeare got it right when he said "the evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones", or words to that effect.
