Weir

Timelapse of Tartrus Weir overflowing on the Mackenzie River following widespread rainfall across the upper Fitzroy catchment. Once the weir reaches capacity it transitions to free spilling, allowing all additional inflows to pass downstream, indicating runoff volumes now exceed local regulation. These elevated discharges move through the Mackenzie River and merge with other tributaries feeding the Fitzroy River, increasing total system volume toward the lower basin. With a moderate flood watch

15/1/26 This timelapse shows Bedford Weir on the Mackenzie River completely submerged. The Mackenzie is a major headwater of the Fitzroy River, draining a vast inland catchment across central Queensland. With the weir overtaken, the system shifts into full transfer, moving sustained volumes steadily downstream. As this water reaches Rockhampton, tidal influence near the coast slows drainage, allowing river levels to rise gradually and remain elevated. A moderate Flood Warning is current for Rock
