Informação extra

From the DBCA facts sheet - see link: "Built in 1986 to supplement the Pemberton town and trout hatchery water supplies, Big Brook Dam now provides a fantastic opportunity for recreational activities. The calm waters of the dam make it a great place for kids to swim. Visitors can picnic or have a barbecue near the ‘beach’ or canoe on the dam while enjoying the scenery.

Surrounding Big Brook Dam, the Big Brook Forest regenerated after logging in the 1920s. About 2,000 hectares of karri had been clearfelled by 1930 when a spark from a steam locomotive started a wildfire. The remaining karri trees dropped their seed onto the ash bed from the fire and the resulting seedlings grew into the forest that now surrounds the dam".
