Boondooma Dam

Boondooma Dam is a dam on the Boyne River in the South Burnett region of Queensland, Australia. In 1983, the dam was constructed across the Boyne River below its confluence with the Stuart River.

It has a capacity of 204 200 ML under the 10 square kilometres (2,500 acres) of surface area and has an average depth of 11 metres (36 ft). The dam forms a narrow and deep lake, designed to avoid evaporation, with one fork containing lots of standing timber and another having many submerged rocky outcrops.
