Cataract Dam

So for years I've been driving past the sign to Cataract Dam but never actually gone to have a look.  This morning I decided to finally go and see it.

There's a huge picnic area there with all the facilities.  I drove around looking for something obvious to mark the dam, and saw a sign saying dam walk this way.  So parked the car and walked down.  Turns out you can actually drive right to it, which I was a bit annoyed about because it was very hot, but hey, at least I got some steps in..

There's a bunch of really cute old buildings from when the dam was built back in the early 1900s.

Just be careful walking around the place in summer - huge spider webs are everywhere, including right across this super huge gap - I nearly walked face first into a web just here!! :(

Will try and see the other dams on future trips.
