North Pine River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

North Pine River flows from the Mount Mee State Forest, approximately 50km (31mi) north-west of Brisbane City, to its convergence with South Pine River at Lawnton, Queensland Australia.

[edit] Geographical characteristics

North Pine River travels mostly through Pine Rivers Shire and, along with Kobble Creek, is dammed at Whiteside to form the North Pine Dam and artificial lake called Lake Samsonvale. This catchment provides drinking water to Redcliffe, Pine Rivers, Caboolture and the northern suburbs of Brisbane.

After the North Pine Dam, North Pine River continues through the suburbs of Petrie and Lawnton, where it meets with South Pine River and forms Pine River, flowing into Bramble Bay.

It is from North Pine, South Pine and Pine rivers from which Pine Rivers Shire is named.
