The Club hasn't been to Nindooinbah Dam before and we were keen to see what we would find. Ron and Kay took us on a 2.5 km walk in the bush around the dam.

Some of the history of the dam.
According to Wikipedia, the name Nindooinbah is derived from the name of a pastoral run of 1842/3, based on Aboriginal words: nguin meaning charcoal/cinders, doan meaning black and ba meaning place, indicating the place of the remains of a fire. (Ed. The place where aborigines met and made fires.)

In 1961 a small dam was built on some of the original Nindooinbah land to supply water for Beaudesert. No longer needed for water storage it is now a small recreational area.
