Seqwater has started releasing more water from Wivenhoe dam this afternoon. This is on top of another bridge-closing high today. The barricades are back on Mt Crosby Road, and the Colleges Crossing bridge is again underwater. Its a rare bridge - more underwater than above it.
The dam release will hit a flooding 100,000 megalitres by tomorrow, that's not much below the level reached in late December. It will mean that the Colleges Crossing park will again be inundated.
The clean-up of the park from the previous event is said to be costing the Ipswich City Council $45k.
Again the Moggill ferry is shut-down.
A bit of feedback in the Queensland Times newspaper over the statement by local Labor MP Mr Wendt that we don't need a new bridge over the crossing.
We will check the weather and the park tomorrow morning to check whether the cafe will be open.
