Summary

[General description] Beetaloo Reservoir, showing its location in hilly, lightly timbered country. The spillway is seen in the foreground. This dam is located near the mid-north town of Laura and was South Australia's first regional reservoir. It was built between 1885-1890 to supply water to the mining and smelting works in the "Copper Triangle". Nowadays its water is now used locally for agriculture and grazing purposes.
