As a result of Bradfields life-long interest in irrigation schemes for Australia's inland districts, he prepared a plan to irrigate the western districts of Queensland and part of Central Australia, by damming the Burdekin and other rivers on the coastal side of the Great Dividing Range in North Queensland and transmit the water by tunnel to the streams on the western side of the mountains.
