Dowse Lagoon

Dowse Lagoon is a park and lake located in Sandgate, a suburb of the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

History

Before 1975, it was largely known as the "Second Lagoon", a reference to the presence of another lagoon in Sandgate.
The lagoon was named in 1975, after Thomas Dowse, a merchant and early settler of Brisbane.
It was identified as a Ramsar site in 1993.
Dowse Lagoon was badly damaged by the 2000s Australian drought, which led to calls for its revitalisation.
