Boondooma Dam / Chinchilla Weir

Our Place
Just up the road from Gary's place is a pretty spot with lots of camping all around the foreshore. Found a great spot in between the trees and right on the waters edge.Took the tinnie out to another lake with no fish! Had fun trying any way and having lots of luck with bait trap. We have decided now its better to eat the bait we catch than give it to the bloody fish or should I say turtles which keep taking it. So far we have had shrimp, redclaw (very small lobster) and yabbie - yum! Bit crowded here due to school hols starting.Met some nice neighbours Bob and his missus from gympie who very generously offered us good red wine for John's music. Took pushies up to lookout about10 kms return trip, rode across dam wall very scary and illegal ( dont forget I'm with John the daredevil ) and checked out the other side of the spillway. Photo shows full dam and front side of spillway which looks almost as if the world is flat.
