Enoggera Dam, Heritage embankment dam in Enoggera Reservoir, Queensland, Australia.
The Enoggera Dam features a clay-cored earth-fill structure stretching 475 meters in length with a height of 23.5 meters above the creek bed.
Built between 1864 and 1866 under engineer Joseph Brady's supervision, this infrastructure project marked Queensland's first major dam construction, costing £65,000.
The name Enoggera originates from the Yuggera Aboriginal word yauar-ngari, referring to a traditional meeting ground for ceremonies and gatherings.
Visitors can access recreational activities through the Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre without permits, including walking tracks and designated water areas.
Three separate outlet pipes distinguish this dam's engineering design, incorporating a 1976 spillway addition for enhanced flood control measures.
