How do you prepare for such a large dump of water. Note the scale of the large trees on the opposite bank!Thanks Mom.
Now, after monsoon rains for the best part of two months, Wivenhoe is bloated to 190% of its capacity.
Authorities have no choice but to release an extraordinary amount of water from the dam to save the structure from giving way.
Local reports say 490,000ML (megalitres) of water a day were being let out - an overflow that Brisbane is bearing the brunt of as it makes its way to the Pacific Ocean.
