Abstract
The Moogerah Dam is a mass concrete double curvature arch dam with an un-gated spillway across the Reynolds Creek that is located in the Southeast region of Queensland, Australia. The impounded reservoir is called Lake Moogerah. Moogerah is derived from the Indigenous Australian word "Moojirah", meaning "home of the thunderstorm".
The dam is located above the Fassifern Valley, approximately 60 kilometres southwest of Ipswich. Aratula is the nearest town, approximately 11 kilometres from the dam and the nearest major centre is Boonah. The primary inflow of the reservoir is the Reynolds Creek, a tributary of the Bremer River. (Wikipedia)
