About Us

Mingoola is 16km from Glenlyon Dam which lies across the Queensland border. Glenlyon Dam is also known as Pike Creek Reservoir. In 1976, the dam wall was built on Pike Creek, a tributary of the Dumaresq River. Glenlyon Dam provides water for irrigation of grain and fodder crops and is a popular destination for water sports. There is a tourist park with full facilities at the dam.

Sundown National Park is 12km from Mingoola. The Broadwater camping area at the southern end of the park can be reached by conventional vehicle turning right at Mingoola. Sundown is a rugged wilderness area of spectacular sharp ridges and steep-sided gorges. The Severn River and its tributaries, woodland birds and the remains of pastoral and mining heritage can be discovered via maintained walking tracks or challenging remote walks.
