Geography

Enoggera Creek rises in the suburb of Enoggera Reservoir on the D'Aguilar Range and flows into the Brisbane River (becoming Breakfast Creek in the final stage). The creek's headwaters form on the southern slopes of Mount Nebo in Brisbane Forest Park.

Within the suburb of Enoggera Reservoir, the creek is dammed by Enoggera Dam ( (27°26′50″S 152°55′37″E / 27.4473°S 152.927°E / -27.4473; 152.927 (Enoggera Dam)).

Ithaca Creek flows from Mount Coot-tha and joins Enoggera Creek from the south at the intersection of the suburbs of Ashgrove, Red Hill and Newmarket (27°26′43″S 153°00′07″E / 27.4453°S 153.0019°E / -27.4453; 153.0019 (Ithaca Creek (mouth))).^[2]^[3]
