Changes Ahead At Dams
The South Burnett Regional Council has assured visitors they will continue to enjoy “wonderful experiences” at Bjelke-Petersen and Boondooma dams, despite the upcoming departure of the current managers.
Dams Enjoy A Little Bit More Water
Boondooma and Lake Barambah have seen a small influx of water from some great rain recently.
Thank You For The Rain
Our two dams have seen some much-needed water flows over the past month, and while it wasn’t a huge amount, it’s still been enough to lift the water levels and keep the fish active.
Summer Fishing Is Fun!
The Christmas and New Year holiday crowds have come and gone but the fishing has remained consistent, with both South Burnett dams fishing well despite the low water levels.

The winter weather is now in full swing and it’s about time too! It’s been unseasonably warm this year and the fish have been sitting deeper than usual.

With the unseasonably warm weather hanging around for quite some time the cold weather gear hadn’t had to make much of an appearance until lately.

South Burnett Dams Levels Rise
Boondooma and Lake Barambah have had an influx of water from Tropical Cyclone Debbie.
