after a lazy morning, we decided to do something different this afternoon and take sam to visit the mundaring weir and show off the awesome pipeline that takes fresh water to the goldfields. it's a really cool place to see... except not so much today... boo.
we discovered on arrival that the walk across the actual weir was being fixed up, so we were left having to look from the sides, which wasn't quite as cool as walking across the top of the actual dam, but it's still awesome to see.
there is so much amazing history in wa, and the story of the kalgoorlie pipeline is one of my favourites, you can read more about it here
plus, on the other side of this concrete...
there is a beautiful view! i'll have to make sure to take the kids back to look once the walk is open again, it's so awesome to see!
mundaring weir fail haha. thank goodness the drive is pretty.
