An emergency alert has been issued in Queensland's Southern Downs region due to fears the Bolzan Quarry Dam is about to break. A huge hole has opened in the dam wall threatening downstream flooding . Residents have been told to leave immediately and move to higher ground. Attempts to repair the hole and stop the flow of water were unsuccessful. A drone and an engineer will attend the site attempt to alleviate pressure from the dam wall. The hole was likely formed by heavy rain on the drought-affected property. Image: News Corp Australia
