A view up the lake from the top of the dam showing the Straining Tower in the distance and a splash of autumn colour on the trees. I am standing on a structure which is holding back up to 59666 megalitres of water but I don't feel nervous as the dam has been doing just that since 1888 - and that was before I was born! There is a road that runs around the lake and I cycled round it once, completely flat but on the southern side it can be very cold as it will be mostly in the shade.
