We only drove in for a look unfortunately. There were no signs here about blue-green algae there which were present at Gordonbrook dam and Boondoomba when we visited. Be sure to check before swimming. For more information you can check at the Sunwater website (https://www.sunwater.com.au/community/water-and-the-environment/blue-green-algae/ ).
