F444E   Sunset over the calm water of Lake Pamamaroo, near the Australian outback town of Menindee, NSW.  This man-made lake was created for the storage of water from the nearby Darling River. The water is used primarily for the irrigation of extensive fields of cotton that are grown in the region. The lake is home to many thousands of waterbirds, and tourists and fishermen flock to the region too to make good use of this vast expanse of water that lies at the heart of an otherwise arid landscape.
