Explosives threat at Qld dam looks like hoax: police
Queensland police say they are almost finished searching the Wivenhoe Dam for suspicous items.

Authorities began the search after a hand-drawn map was found yesterday, depicting Brisbane's main water supply and making reference to an explosive.

The dam wall and its spillway have been cleared by State Emergency Service (SES) volunteers after a six-hour search.

Queensland police say it looks like a hoax.

Detective Dominic McHugh says police are meeting to decide what further searches may take place this afternoon.
