Little Nerang Dam’s hidden beauty revealed

One of the most beautiful dams in South East Queensland is also one of the most secret. Hidden deep in the Gold Coast hinterland, Little Nerang Dam, when full covers an area of about 50 hectares.

The site used to be a popular recreation destination, with the surroundings making for a perfect picture-postcard scene. When the un-gated dam reaches 100 percent capacity, sheets of water flow over the spillway, providing quite the spectacle.

Following the Australia Day weekend rainfall event in January 2013, the access road to the recreation area at Little Nerang Dam was closed to the public due to safety and stability concerns.
