Len Cook Ceramics (formerly known as Paluma Pottery) is located at 29 Lennox Crescent, off Mount Spec Road. You can’t miss the sign on the corner of Lennox Crescent.

The Gallery will be OPEN on a regular basis over the coming months, with the usual business hours of 10 AM to 4 PM.

Council Decision on Boating on Paluma Dam

At its recent meeting, the Townsville City Council endorsed a recommendation from its officers that the opening of Lake Paluma to additional recreational/commercial opportunities will not be contemplated due to its low-key, nature based recreational activities and camping focus. This decision will ensure that the dam remains closed to motorised boating and other commercial activities. This is an excellent outcome. The PDCA has previously communicated to the TCC its strong opposition to any change in the use of the Dam. Margie Ryder, our local Councillor has made our views clear to the Council. We appreciate that her efforts on our behalf have helped to achieve this outcome.
