Lockyer Creek has only a very small flow now due to years of below average rainfall.
One day there was a LOT of rain. See at around 1:20.

Out to lunch for the first time in years at a cafe on the edge of the escarpment. The area is known as Picnic Point. A large park slopes away to the right. There is a forested reserve on the steep slope to the left as can be seen in the photos from the table we had in the cafe. The centre contains the cafe with both indoor and outdoor seating and function rooms. September 2018.

A Ford Mainline ute seen while out walking near my home. August 2018.
From en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Mainline
Australian Ford Mainline Utility
In Australia the Mainline name was applied to a locally developed 2-door coupé utility version of the Ford Customline sedan from 1952.[9] The Mainline utilized an imported Ford V8 convertible chassis [10] with the large X-member for additional load carrying strength.[11] It sold alongside the Australian built Customline sedan, with both given yearly updates until production ceased in 1959.[12] The coupe utility slot in Ford Australia's lineup was filled by the first Ford Falcon utility the following year. The Mainline Utility was powered by an Australian produced version of the Ford side-valve V8 engine [13] until the introduction of the OHV V8 in the redesigned 1955 series
