The 184-kilometre (114 mi)-long river is one of the dominant waterways in South East Queensland that drains the southern ranges of the Scenic Rim and empties into Moreton Bay after navigating
86-676: A doubling of rail tracks between the Kuraby and Beenleigh in time for the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. Tidal waters reach to just downstream of the Maclean's Bridge. Maroon Dam subverts Burnnett Creek, and supplies water to the Beaudesert Shire . Maroon is managed by SunWater and covers approximately 106 square kilometres (41 sq mi). The Queensland Government has considered several projects to supply water to its Southern Regional Pipeline . The Bromelton off-stream storage facility
129-404: A given order, and similar to nouns, suffixes are attached in a set order. Combinations of these suffixes express all possible conjugations of Yugambeh verbs, with only a small number of combinations possible. Yugambeh verb stems are commonly two syllables in length and always end in a vowel. 'Causative' 'Carry whilst...' 'Past tense' 'Repetitive' 'Causative' Adjectives can be marked with
172-455: A homorganic consonant. The grammar of the Yugambeh language is highly agglutinative, making use of over 50 suffixes on nouns, verbs, adjectives, and demonstratives. Nouns take a number of suffixes to decline for grammatical case. Noun suffixes are placed into ten orders. A noun may not take more than one suffix from any order, and if more than one suffix is attached they must always be in
215-455: A homorganic obstruent. 'N' stands for a homorganic nasal. #The comitative, purposive, desiderative, ablative, and aversive suffixes are preceded by -bah on animate nouns. Verbs are conjugated with suffixes. Yugambeh is an aspect -dominant language, as opposed to being tense -dominant like most Western languages. Suffixes mostly indicate aspect and mood . Verb suffixes are placed in six orders. A verb may not take more than one suffix from
258-416: A lateral/rhotic consonant. Compared to other Pama-Nyungan languages, Yugambeh has a smaller inventory of consonants. There are four places of articulation, with the consonants consisting of four obstruents, four nasals, two liquids, and two semivowels. Obstruents Obstruents do not have a voicing contrast, and can appear as fricative allophones. Obstruents are phonetically voiceless, except when following
301-543: A more reliable option. After a series of studies, a Senate Inquiry and much contested information, Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett granted approval for the Wyaralong Dam in November 2008. The dam is a storage and regulation facility. It does not discharge directly into the piped reticulation network, but rather discharges back into the natural drainage network of creeks and brooks. Water released from
344-559: A significant section of the Boonah-Rathdowney Road. The Yugambeh clan of the Jagera people are thought to have once roamed throughout the catchment. Traditional owners in the catchment made use of the abundant natural resources, various plants and animals were used as staple foods as the seasons changed and as new food sources became available. They called the river Dugulumba in their traditional Yugambeh dialect of
387-527: A suffix to indicate the gender of the noun they qualify. *N stands for a homorganic nasal. Yugambeh possesses a complicated set of demonstratives which make a three-way distinction among proximal, medial, and distal sets. There is a further distinguishing of demonstrative adjectives and location demonstratives. The adjective set can be additionally suffixed to create demonstrative pronouns. The adjective set has three forms for "things in sight", "things hidden or not in sight", and "things not there anymore", while
430-425: A western (freshwater) variety and an eastern (saltwater) variety with minor vocabularic differences. Some differences noted by linguist Shaun Davies : Yugambeh has a vowel system of four vowels that also contrast in length, resulting in eight phonemic vowels in total. The letter "h" is used after the vowel to indicate a long vowel. The low central vowel /a/ is fronted and raised between palatal consonants and

#1732772500281516-517: Is cheaper to produce desalinated water than to treat it. The Wyaralong water treatment plant is expected to cost A$ 235 million to construct. Funding for the plant was planned for the 2014/15 financial year. In 2017 SEQ Water external relations manager Mike Foster stated the Wyaralong Water Treatment Plant wouldn't be necessary until "2030 or beyond". As a result of rainfall during the 2010–2011 Queensland floods

The foundation is a sub horizontal dipping blocky sandstone. The dam is built with a 130-metre (430 ft) wide uncontrolled central primary spillway and an uncontrolled left bank secondary spillway which commences discharging at
602-488: Is on the right bank and is capable of abstracting water from any level of the reservoir by the use of baulks. The outlet includes an innovative and operationally complex bidirectional fish lift, which uses a single hopper to transport fish in both upstream and downstream directions. The site was identified in a 1990 study, Water Supply Sources in South-East Queensland , as a future source of water supply for
645-733: Is under construction on the Logan River, outside Beaudesert, as is the Cedar Grove Weir , near Jimboomba. In 2006 the Queensland Government decided against the construction of a Logan River dam at Tilley's Bridge in Rathdowney due to mounting public pressure and high road diversion costs. Instead, the Wyaralong Dam was proposed on Teviot Brook near Boonah which will inundate fifteen properties instead of
688-489: Is well south of their natural distribution. A toll bridge on the river north of Beenleigh was opened and began collecting tolls in 1931, as weekend traffic between Brisbane and the Gold Coast increased. The worst flooding in the lower reaches of the river in the 20th century occurred during the 1974 Brisbane flood . The quality of the water in the Logan River is very turbid.

In the Yugambeh language, the word yugambeh means an emphatic 'no', 'never' i.e. 'very much no' and is a common exonym for the people and their language. Language speakers use the word miban which means 'man', 'human', ' wedge-tailed eagle ' and is the preferred endonym for the people; they call their language Mibanah meaning 'of man', 'of human', 'of eagle' (the -Nah suffix forming
860-862: The City of Logan , a major suburban centre located south of Brisbane . The catchment is dominated by urban and agricultural land use. Near the river mouth are mangrove forests and a number of aquaculture farms. The river rises below Mount Ernest on the southern slopes of the Scenic Rim, part of the Great Dividing Range and forms in the Mount Barney National Park , near the Queensland ;– New South Wales border, below Mount Lindesay . The river flows generally north by northeast, joined by eleven minor tributaries , before heading east and eventually emptying into Moreton Bay . Its principal tributaries are
903-503: The Scenic Rim region. The dam was initiated by the Queensland Government in 2006 as a result of the prolonged Millennium drought which saw the catchment areas of South East Queensland's dams receive record low rain. It was completed in 2011. The dam is located approximately 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) north-west of Beaudesert . The dam wall itself is split between the localities of Wyaralong and Allenview , but

A second rail crossing is planned to accommodate
989-558: The genitive of the word miban ). Yugambeh may also be referred to as: Yugambeh is spoken within the Logan , Albert , Coomera , Nerang , and Tweed River basins. Linguists such as Margaret Sharpe , relying on the previous work of others like Terry Crowley , described the Yugambeh language as having potentially upwards of 7 dialects. Recent analysis has found errors in these original studies and when corrected for these errors, two mutually intelligible dialects can be found;
1032-474: The 1:100 year flood level. The dam cross section is rather squat in order to provide sufficient resistance against potential sliding along foundation bedding planes. The 218,300-thousand-cubic-metre (7,710 × 10 ^ cu ft) dam wall holds back the 103,000-megalitre (23 × 10 ^ imp gal; 27 × 10 ^ US gal) reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of 546 square kilometres (211 sq mi) that includes much of
1075-619: The River's freshwater area at a "D"; its Estuarine area was given an "F". Historically, cholera has been found in the Logan River from around 1977. Community projects in the Logan catchment area aim to improve the quality of the ecosystem. Competitions such as Carp-busters are aimed at reducing the number of carp and hence allowing native species of fish a better chance of survival. Yugambeh dialect Yugambeh (or Mibanah , from Mibanah gulgun , lit. 'language of men' or 'sound of eagles'), also known as Tweed-Albert Bandjalang ,
1118-489: The South East Queensland region. In this report, the site of Wyaralong Dam was ranked 13th out of 15 studied possible dam locations in the region. A location on the Albert River at Glendower , also near Beaudesert , was the preferred location and the government subsequently bought back all the land required for the Glendower Dam . A new dam was not expected to be required until 2060 or later and Glendower Dam remained

The Mununjali language area includes landscape within the local government boundaries of the Scenic Rim and Beaudesert Shire Councils. In August 1826 Captain Patrick Logan was the first European to discover the river. Logan initially named the river the Darling River, but to avoid confusion, Governor Ralph Darling ordered
1204-541: The bulk of impounded water is within Wyaralong. The Wyaralong Dam was completed prior to the 2010–2011 Queensland floods . On January 11, during the flood period, the Mayors of both Logan City and Scenic Rim said they believed that Logan had been spared a great deal of flood damage because of the dam. The concrete dam structure is 48 metres (157 ft) high and 463.60 metres (1,521.0 ft) long. The dam wall
1247-446: The dam filled to 100% capacity, just 25 days after the wall was plugged to hold water, but before its completion. By 10 January during the flood period, the dam held 83,133 megalitres (18,287 × 10 ^ imp gal; 21,961 × 10 ^ US gal), 80.7 per cent of its 103,000 megalitres (23 × 10 ^ imp gal; 27 × 10 ^ US gal) capacity. Parts of the dam were still under construction, but its wall

1806-549: Was thriving along the river by the 1860s mostly because it was the best transport route in the area. Steam ships, cutters and hand-loaded punts were the most common vessels. For navigation purposes the river was surveyed in 1871 from its mouth upstream to McLean. Wharfs were initially built at McLean, Beenleigh, Waterford and Logan Village with more built due to public demand. Unofficial ferry crossings were conducted as early as 1862. Long-term services were established at Alberton, Loganholme and Waterford. The rail bridge at Loganlea
