It was just touching the top of the spill on Monday. Any breeze would have made it spill.

Not that much more coming down the brook that i saw. Ground is wet that way and run off from amy rain will make it run and spill for sure

On Monday afternoon, out the back of Lake Moogerah a stationary storm dropped more than a 100mm in an hour.

The result being the Moogerah lake level increased by a metre or so and almost a major flood went down the Teviot Brook ( Wyaralong's feeder). The Teviot came within a whisker of major flood status when the peak arrived in Boonah on Monday night.

Add that on top of the flow of last Friday/Saturday hence the spill.
