Enoggera Reservoir

Enoggera Reservoir, The Gap, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

The Enoggera Dam is a heritage-listed dam, which is located adjacent to the outer western suburb of The Gap, in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is situated in between the Mount Coot-tha Reserve on the Taylor Range and the higher D'Aguilar Range peaks to the north. The Enoggera Dam was constructed in 1866, on the upper reach of Breakfast Creek (which section was later renamed Enoggera Creek). It was the first major dam built in Queensland and the second major dam built in Australia. It is rare as one of the few remaining examples in Queensland of an intact and functioning reservoir and treatment plant from this period in time. Brisbane Forest Park (now officially the southern part of D'Aguilar National Park), is located in parts of the D'Aguilar Range. The large nature reserve lies on the western boundary of city of Brisbane and into the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland in Australia.
