When I took the first photo, I intended this blog to be more of a before and after shot of clearing out the spillway, but given the weather, its now a water level contrast as well. So, quite obviously, this is the spill way at work. Its where the excess water feeds away from the lake on Minnawarra. It was very over grown and needed clearing, as you can see in the first shot. Queue the job of rock climbing with a chainsaw. Yeah, I love my job. Basically we had to remove the small trees in the bottom and uplift the trees on the edge. Then there was the task of removing the weeds and just generally tidying up. Took a good day to complete and we did it the middle of the week before last, as we knew rain would be comming the following week and wouldnt have chance to get in there otherwise. The bottom photo was taken on the Thursday in the week just gone, when we had that delicious spell of rain. The spillway is fairly unaccessible, due to the water. Safety first, as always. Still blows my little mind, just seeing the difference a spell of rain makes.
