HEAVY rainfall could cause the Wellington Dam to over flow next week.
A spokesperson for the Water Corporation said the dam is currently 95 per cent full and said it could spill as early as next week if the rain continues.
The dam overflowed for the first time in four years last September with tourists and locals flocking to the national park in a frenzy. Wellington Dam Kiosk owner Wendy Perdon is well prepared for the influx of visitors after opening a new kiosk earlier this year.
"So many people visited last year they had to place traffic lights at the end of dam wall," Ms Pedron said.
Since the kiosk opened business has been slow but Ms Pedron hopes the dam overflow will change this.
"People are still working out we've re-opened and so a lot of people who visit the dam come prepared because there has been no public refreshments here for years, but that's changing," she said.
Ms Pedron and her niece Beth Oswin didn't want to sell regular cafe food so they decided everything would be home made.
"The kiosk has all your favourites but with a twist," Ms Pedron said.
"The marron pies, burger buns, chutney and even the jam, everything is home made."
The kiosk is also used as a mini information desk offering tourists brochures and maps about the region highlighting the best walking trails and spots to visit.
"We wanted something here for the cottage guests because they don't always know where to go or how to get there so the kiosk desk can point them in the right direction," Ms Pedron said.
Ms Pedron took over the cottages in the Wellington Park four years ago and has since seen a rise in tourism.
"It's just about bringing people to the area and showing them the diversity of what is here," she said.
"We rent the cottages out to visitors all year round."
Wellington Dam kiosk is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10am till 3pm.
