    SEQ Dam Tour

    Was thinking about doing a dam tour tomorrow, taking in North Pine, Somerset and Wivenhoe dams. Anyone know if they're still releasing water? Would make for a memorable experience and a nice drive I reckon.

    Did it Sunday, but it's better now - they're still open and supposed to be still pouring out over the weekend apparently.

    I have been in W A for a while now but have heard of all the rain. Should I be charging extra rent now for the water views or is my place in Redcliffe now a house boat?

    Sounds like a damn good idea driving around looking at all the dams with all that damn water flowing out of them

    Ranga, we were planning similair this weekend, Start time? We are in North Lakes area.
    Supposed to be releasing from North Pine yesterday and today but it wasn't much. Wivenhoe would be the 'money shot'.

    Trog, Redcliffe's pretty ok. D'Bay has had trouble around the usual low areas.
    Flooding has been mainly localised due to poor drainage on individual blocks.
    hope this helps, Dave.
