Bottom of spillway Thommo dam

So is the dam built on top of a hill or is that like a hydro power feed?  :-\

They dammed the Thompson river in the high country near my baw baw  to build the reservoir for water security, flooding a pretty decent valley. There’s a small hydro set up which feeds into the grid.

Here's another of the Thompson overflow. Sorry guys but I am technologically challenged. I tried converting the mp4 to a gift and it still won't accept it. http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/63671343b942f/Thompson.mp4

My in-laws are in the country club down there and said it was very wet at one end of the estate Balcombe creek in mount Martha looked pretty hectic also in the photos we were sent, we are living in the Wimmera at the moment and the river is charging now below the minor flood level but still loads of water running, lake Hindmarsh which is Victoria’s largest natural lake hasn’t had decent water in it for years and is around 30-40% full, it looks incredible.

Any talk that Lake Albacutya might get some water in it??
