Gordonbrook Dam is the sole source of water supply for Kingaroy, Queensland; it was built in 1941 to provide water for the Royal Australian Air Force Training Base during WWII. In 1987 due to increased demand the dam wall was raised and the inundated area is now 229 hectares.

[edit] Fishing

A Stocked Impoundment Permit is required to fish in the dam[1].
