Bridges Over The Brisbane River - Crossings From Lake Wivenhoe To Moore

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:

    What a wilderness walk for a man to take alone! None of your half-mile swamps, none of your mile-wide woods merely, as on the skirts of our towns, without hotels, only a dark mountain or a lake for guide-board and station, over ground much of it impassable in summer!
    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)
