Dam Progress

Here's a couple of photos showing how work on Canberra's new dam is progressing. The top one was taken in November last year, the bottom one this August. In the top photo you can see the old dam wall just above the new one, while in the bottom one the new wall is way higher. Just compare the dam heights against the trees on the valley walls. There has been a lot of progress in the nine months, despite holdups due to floods, accidents, unexpected faults in the rock and a few small cracks in the concrete. Big construction jobs like this are fascinating and it is great to have one that I can watch whenever I can stir the Oldies into driving me out there. There is a good walking trail up to the viewing points and on it there are many signs. I think this one is open to misinterpretation; I hope it is talking about the small bridge on the track, not the road bridge above it :)
