Teviot Brook

Teviot Brook is a waterway in South East Queensland that flows from the Main Range near Carneys Creek down to the Logan River at Cedar Grove. The waters are held back by Wyaralong Dam, built between Allenview and Wyaralong near Flinders Peak Group.

Explorer Allan Cunningham named this waterway in 1828 after the River Teviot in Roxburghshire, Scotland, during his travels through the region. The name reflects Scottish heritage that marked early European exploration of Southeast Queensland.

The waterway marks a natural boundary between Logan City and the Scenic Rim, shaping how residents of both areas relate to their surroundings. This division creates a distinct sense of place for communities on either side.

The brook can be accessed from various points along its course, from the highland areas near the Main Range down to the lower sections near the Logan River. Your experience will depend on which section you choose to visit and the current water conditions.

The waterway experiences dramatic seasonal swings in water flow, particularly during summer months when rainfall is heaviest in the region. These shifts shape the landscape and affect the wildlife that depends on the brook throughout the year.
