Festival of the Dams Postponed
Due to the latest rain events and the inflows still coming into our dams from river systems, the hard decision has been made to postpone the Festival of the Dams
on the 13 and 14 August at Boondooma Dam and 10 and 11 September at Bjelke-Petersen Dam by Fishing Freshwater and the South Burnett Regional Council.
Event organisers certainly did not take this decision lightly, but due to the water inflows still coming into the dams and the capacity levels still at over 100%, fishing at both dams is extremely challenging at present due to the unsettled water conditions.
Event organisers will advise of new dates in due course.
Fishing Freshwater spokesman Matthew Mott said, “The Festival is definitely not cancelled, just postponed. We are waiting for Mother Nature to do her thing and then the Festival will be back bigger and better than ever.”
“We want thousands of people to come to the South Burnett and have a great time and catch a lot of fish. The timing just has to be right.”
