Closed waters in freshwater areas

No fish can be taken from Obi Obi Creek all year round between the Baroon Pocket Dam wall and the shortest line across the creek at the downstream side of Obi Obi Creek crossing 4 (Manuel Hornibrook Bridge). The use and possession of any fishing equipment in this section of Obi Obi Creek is not permitted.

Why do we have closed waters?

Closed waters (regulated waters) prevent people from fishing in certain areas and these may be:

• where a population of endangered or threatened species live
• where fish congregate during or before spawning
• where fish may mass or be stranded near artificial barriers and be susceptible to overfishing
• to separate incompatible uses, for example spearfishing in a bathing area
• to enable successful migration of fish through fishways.

The ANZAC Centenary (from 2014 to 2018)

The 100th anniversary of Anzac Day is being remembered with the completion of a replica of the origional Obi Obi honour board. The unveiling of the origional Obi Obi honour boar occurred  at the Obi Obi hall on the 04.10.1917.

This replica will be hung at the Obi Obi hall.

Anzac day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by New Zealand and Australian forces during the First World War. On 25th of April 1915, the forces landed on Gallipoli, so this became the day on which the sacrifice of soldiers who had died in the war was remembered .
