You need a permit for both Kinchant and Teemburra Dams.
Here you go. mate:
Permits can be purchased for a year for $35 or $31.50 for concession card holders, or for a week for $7.

"Purchasing SIPs is quick and easy and can be done online through the Queensland Government Gateway - http://www.qld.gov.au/fishing/ - before leaving home which gives anglers more time on the water," Ms Wohlsen said.

"To encourage people to buy online, the DPI&F is currently giving away 300 prize packs to anglers who purchase their permit through the website.

"The giveaways include cooler bags, tin mugs, back packs, caps, travel mugs, tote bags and water bottles. Twenty-five prizes are being given away each month until September 2006."

Read the terms and conditions for the competition.

A random prize draw will be undertaken at the end of each month and the lucky winners will be notified soon after.

Dams which require a SIP include Burdekin, Wivenhoe, Fred Haigh (Lake Monduran), Peter Faust, Somerset, Tinaroo, Callide, Cooby, Glenlyon, Cressbrook, Bjelke-Petersen, Boondooma, Wuruma, Coolmunda, Leslie, Teemburra, Kinchant, Moogerah, Eungella, Cania, Borumba, Lenthalls, Gordonbrook, Maroon, Lake Clarendon, Lake MacDonald, Lake Gregory (Isis Balancing Storage), Lake Dyer and Lake Connolly.

SIP permits can also be bought from local businesses near the dams. To locate one of these businesses or for more information on freshwater fishing contact the DPI&F Call Centre on 13 25 23.
