160 - Darwin Dam


Now this dam is Feeeeeerk'n huge

Now as we are on a roll to do the touristy things, one said to the bride on a clear, very warm Friday in Darwin, "How about we go and see the Darwin Dam, it is only down the road." "Why not" was the inquisitive reply from the bride.

Now you may wish to go back on several posts and see I am a bit of a dam junkie. Don't know really. I guess the engineering of these beasts always amazes me, as being as mechanically minded as a cockroach, stranger things have happened.

Now I won't bore you with details about capacity etc., etc. I have taken a photo of all the guff and just enlarge the photos FYI.

Watch out for those snapping hand bags!!!!!

The dam goes for miles and miles

Water as far as the eye can see. No water restrictions up here. No sirree!!!!!!

The other side of the dam wall, just another million miles of bush

Keen for swim?????????

A few stats for ya!

A few more

And that's all folks

Stay tooooned for more on NT.
