The gates have been shut or almost shut last night. The river is almost back to normal height here at Lowood. But I gotta tell you................... the smell is atrocious!
O'Reillys Weir might flow the right way now. I looked last week and the river was actually pushing back up Lockyer Creek. The weir was a mere ripple under the flow.
I think it will take a few weeks for the river to settle. Its like gravy at the moment.
It will be interesting to see where all the tilapia that inhabited the river at the bends at Lowood end up...... Maybe around Peel Island...
Cheers
