I though I had found all the weirs in the Brindabella's years ago... Well, looks like I was wrong! I recently discovered on Johnny Boy's Walkabout Blog that he had also been hunting weirs, and found a couple that weren't on my map!
So here is another weir for your enjoyment (or torture ). Build in 1969 by John Burns, CSIRO Project Officer. As per most of the other Brindabella weirs, the last couple of 100m to the weir is very overgrown, so make sure you wear protective clothing.
The best access point to get to this weir is from the intersection of Bendora Rd and Warks Rd. As far as I know the gate there is always locked, so there will be a couple of kilometres of hike/ride to get to the weir.
It still amazes me how many weirs were built out here! I know they were used to measure the amount of water flow, and other scientific data, but why so many of them?
Please note, this is a very small cache - please BYO pen.
