Ibis Dam is a dam built in 1906 on Ibis Creek that serves as a water supply for the town of Irvinebank, Far North Queensland, Australia.[1][2] It has a spillway height of 55 feet (17 m). Established by John Moffat, a mining entrepreneur,[3] its construction was supervised by Tom Brodie, a Scottish stonemason.[4] It is located about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of Irvinebank and has been providing water since its construction.[1]
