Crossings From Lake Wivenhoe To Moore
When Lake Wivenhoe is full the waters extend many kilometres up the river. The first crossing upstream from the lake is a high level bridge built in conjunction with the dam to raise the Esk Kilcoy Road well above the maximum level of the lake. Several minor crossings of this section of the river shown on maps are omitted from the list below. The omitted crossings belong to one of the following groups:
- Former low level crossings now covered (most of the time) by the waters of Lake Wivenhoe.
- Public or private roads that provide access to farms on the eastern side of the river.
- Private roads or tracks that link parts of farms that are astride the river.
The more significant crossings from Lake Wivenhoe to Moore are listed below.

Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or moore:
“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have seen this swan and
I have seen you; I have seen ambition without
understanding in a variety of forms.”
—Marianne Moore (1887–1972)
