We now have a bus to take you all into where the boat is……..so no more taking your cars in on the dusty road, just lock them up at the car park and jump on the bus.
The Dam is currently 81.3% full 21/8/10 , come and see it at it’s best.
The boat is easily accessed and suitable for wheel chairs and people with disabilities .
Winter is here and the bird breeding season is apon us – June July August September, so come along and get up close to see the nesting along the river and up around Swan island.
The pelicans are starting to return here after being down in the “centre” along with a great host of other species as well so come along and experience one of Australia’s best bird habitants.
we had a fantastic cruise/BBQ at Quarry point lookout the other afternoon for a private group. The winter sun is now setting in the northern sky and boy was it good
TRIBUTE TO FRANK SPENCER show on board the Kathleen Mary 30th June , 1st July, Was an absolutely hilarious morning and still being talked about by those who were lucky enough to obtain tickets.
Don’t forget we have a courtesy bus now to take you from the main carpark of the dam right to the boat .

Had a wonderful arvo on 1 Aug 2010. Pop & Heather were great, Pop with his commentary (he has a wealth of information) and entertainment and Heather too in retrieving a five-dollar note that she lost overboard. Truly a great experience and a MUST event to take visitors.

It was great. I loved it. Some photos of the old places described on the tour would have been nice although after talking to the owner he has infact planned to do this in the future. I will definately be recommending it to friends, etc.

A delightful experience with excellent service and sights. Pop’s commentary on the history of the area’s settlement was most interesting and his descriptions of the birdlife and trees etc were very informative. We had no idea what to expect on this cruise and were very pleased with the experience.

A must do experience to do when in townsville regardless of whether a local or visitor. It’s worth doing to see the bird life on the dam or to learn about the history of the area itself

I am a regular customer of this business. I love the relaxed atmosphere of the launch trip on the dam and watching the plentiful bird life. The commentary is excellent, by somebody who knows the area well, and the cheerful demeanor of the staff makes the four hour trip a pleasure.

I have lived in Townsville for twenty-eight years and I have never experienced The Ross River Dam like that. You have to take the tour to understand. The cruise was filled with information on the local history of the Dam and there was so many different species of wild life It was wonderful. I will be going again soon. Aliceson.

We have been a few times on the cruises on Lake Ross and up the Ross River. The scenery in the Ross River is quite spectacular and the wildlife is a delight to see. I can’t think of anywhere else that you could get a two and a half hour cruise for less than thirty dollars. Pop and Heather really make you feel part of the “family”

A very enjoyable and informative cruise. A photographer’s delight, with landscape, wildlife and nature. Perfect way to relax, unwind and listen to light entertainment whilst cruising the smooth waters of the dam.
