Cotter Dam


This afternoon we headed out to have a look at the enlarged Cotter Dam. It's a huge project that will increase one of the dams providing water to Canberra from 4 gigalitres(GL) to 78 GL.

Eli fell asleep on the drive and so Audrey and I headed up to the viewing platform along the excellent 'Cotter Dam Discovery Trail' It was a nice walk and Amy and (a slightly grumpy) Eli joined us at the top. Here's some pics

1 million tonnes of concrete is going to be used in the dams construction making it the highest dam of its type in Australia
Audrey tries to release a few gigalitres of water
