9/7/22 Lake Kerwongbah & North Pine Dam

 


   Following on after our bike ride out at Woody Point , we had some lunch and went for a drive . There's a few lakes not too far away . We found Lakeside Drive and headed on down - hoping to find somewhere to get some aerial shots from - got a big surprise when we found Lakeside Race Track , and they had a race weekend happening ! We had a quick look , before driving back out to the entrance and let the drone out for a look . Here's the racetrack - now you know why it's called Lakeside !

 The track is alongside Lake Kerwongbah .


You can see the water in the distance , and we figured it was all part of this lake .


   Back into the ute , down a few other roads and we find North Pine Dam and Lake Samsonvale - which is a lot larger than Lake Kerwongbah . Lake Samsonvale is for drinking water , and Lake Kerwongbah is for recreation . This is North Pine Dam .


   North Pine Dam Wall .


   Down into another road , we find many houses on acreage that back onto Lake Kerwongbah , just beside here .


    Back to Lake Kerwongbah and the rowing club . There's a small park here with chairs & tables , the dam wall is over to the right in this photo .


   Here's the view up the rowing course , some of the single skulls rowboats are on the bank .


    Dam wall is on the right and the main pump is on the left .


   Here's the dam wall and a local paddling away bottom left .

  Here's Lake Kerwongbah below , with Lake Samsonvale top left .

   And with that we headed home , the temperature was heading south , it was time to warm up !!
