Switching subjects to Charters Towers, we have the third biggest river in Australia, the Burdekin River, running past Charters Towers. It is a town that has lost 2,000 jobs in mining. Five of our goldmines have closed; we only have one going, and a lot of that workforce comes from Townsville. The dam on the upper Burdekin was proposed by Dr JC Bradfield back in 1929.
