Steve Irwin Memorial
-2007
Not too far from Landsborough in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, you can visit the dam for a day. Be tempted to take a trail hike - choose from the 1.5km spillway walk or the 5km dam trail. Take the kayak out on the water, or enjoy a BBQ as you take in the reflections on the still waters.
