Description of Dimond Gorge
Dimond Gorge is downstream from
Sir John Gorge and was named after Cyril Dimond, the head engineer of a project to dam the Fitzroy River back in the 1950s. The proposed dam would have flooded nearly 1,000 square kilometres, mostly on Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary. Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary is great for bird watching with over 180 species found on the property including the threatened Gouldian Finch. The Fitzroy River was named after Captain Robert Fitzroy, one time commander of "HMS Beagle", during one of the ship's voyages commissioned to chart the northern Australian coast.
