Photo taken just the other day..
A picnic area with daffodils and shelter in the ground where the dam is.
Two photos from a winding road within Launceston which is not used very much, so a view towards the Tamar River for the one above and below the view of the outer area of Launceston on a rainy day.
Meraviglioso!
ReplyDeleteLa diga con la sua cascata è spettacolare.
It's a good thing to see and the view is a nice one. Once there were trees in the way but they have been removed now.
DeleteMe encantó ver el agua correr por la presa. Besos.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see Teresa.
DeleteYes, I heard someone talking with a very heavy Australian accent. Didn't understand a single word. : )
ReplyDeleteI didn't understand a single word either.....lol definitely an Australian accent and not a Canadian or American one.
DeleteMaravilhoso sem dúvida

DeleteThe water leading up to the dam is so smooth, it reminds me of vinyl. Beautiful captures, I enjoyed the sound of the water in the video.
ReplyDeleteIt is very smooth and just falls over the wall without any effort.
DeleteThe water on the dam are two different colours...really cool!
ReplyDeleteYes it is and from memory there is a far bit of dirt at the bottom of the dam so with the force of the water it mixes.
DeleteLove the power and the sound of the water.
ReplyDeleteA lot of that with the dam wall overflowing.
DeleteLOVELY THE WATER.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to watch and hear as long as there are no floods.
DeleteIs the windmill in the last photo working or a decoration?
ReplyDeleteIt's just a decoration these days John.
DeleteVideo worked fine for me :)
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the windmill in your last photograph.
All the best Jan
Glad the video worked, I put videos up before and they didn't work and they were probably in a different format back then...Windmill is just for looks these days Jan.
DeleteAll the dams are very full. This one is no exception! I can see the concrete bit that stands out in design. Love the shed nearby.
ReplyDeleteIt's good the dams are full and drought isn't good nor are floods either.
DeleteI like these photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteSo the dam is full by the spillway action. There are some nice views from the elevation.
ReplyDeleteGood views from that area Andrew, but you really can't see the houses that look over the river there before the water reaches the dam wall.
DeleteBeautiful photos and beautiful video.
ReplyDeleteI like the sound of the water.
Greetings Irma
Thanks Irma. There is just something nice about water running.
DeleteLovely pictures
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThe dam looks like a sheet of steel before it finally flows over the edge. It sounds and looks really powerful.
ReplyDeleteIt does Rosemary and a lot of water flowing over rather gently till it hits the bottom, can recall the water spraying up at the bottom on one of the trip to the dam.
DeleteI think that if there was a wild river anywhere in the world humans would put a dam on it. All over North America, especially in the west, they are now being removed in an attempt to remediate the environmental damage they have caused.
ReplyDeleteOh are they indeed over your way. Our dams are not causing much of a problem so I am to believe at this stage.
DeleteCiao Margaret, sul mio ultimo post è al contrario, ho dovuto aspettare 11 anni per la pensione perchè non avevo l'età. Belle le foto della diga complimenti.
ReplyDeleteOk, thanks for that :) trust me to get it back the front...
DeleteViendo el vídeo en la pantalla completa del oredenador, es como se aprecia mejor su enorme belleza.
ReplyDeleteBesos.
That's wonderful, I haven't even done that.
DeleteNo worries...I like it when people talk in the videos...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spot!

At least when someone talks you get the idea of what their tongue sound like for that country.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteSpecial to see so many water. Wonderful pictures and a good movie.
Nice place that picnic area.
Greetings, Marco
It gets busy in later spring, summer and early autumn for picnics, it's hard to get parked there.
DeleteHow beautiful and what a joy to see a dam with that amount of water, here the swamps that have more water now with the drought does not reach 25% of its capacity.
ReplyDeleteThe other day I saw on TV a beach in Tasmania that some whales had been stranded and the work to be able to take them back to the sea.
Best regards.
Amazing you saw those whales on your TV, yes sad occasion when so many whales beach themselves, most died they the people only managed to save a few. It's a beautiful beach where they beached themselves and it's very long. When I was a teenager just, I used to be driven on the sand all the way down that beach by the Policeman who used to patrol it. Lucky me, my was also a Policeman and they were friends living in different towns.
DeleteBeautiful view and sound of water at the dam. Thanks for the video.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I often forget that I can take videos to show on my blog!
DeleteThat's a great looking dam, and the noise makes it seem even more powerful. Voices in videos are always interesting. I enjoy these little snippets. Enjoyed the post Margaret, another lovely area from your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise. Must take more videos and post them on the blog.
DeleteПлотина мощная! Выглядит потрясающе! И от неё польза есть?
ReplyDeleteЯ, вообще, люблю смотреть на воду.
The water is used for hydroelectricity.
DeleteAwesome your post, have a nice day

Thank you and you are welcome.
DeleteThat picnic area looks like a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what there is about a large body of water but, for some reason it spooks me.
Certainly can not be good when in the flood.
Deleteglorious sights dear Margaret
ReplyDeleteless taken road looks great alongside the river
thank you for sharing
Thank you and you are welcome.
DeleteWhat a beautiful spot.
ReplyDeleteInteresting dam. You can see in the video that the water runs very hard, I loved hearing its sound.
It's a good sound, so wonderful to have water as long as it doesn't do damage.
DeleteA gorgeous place to visit. Loved the video and picnic area is really appealing.
