A pretty cool timelapse thing of the new Cotter Dam during the recent deluge...

It's only half finished, but it's already 11 metres higher than the old and now demolished dam that used to stand just in front of it, which makes me wonder how the old dam would have stood up to it if it'd still been there....

We live in Central West NSW,and with all this rain we have got the Wyangala Dam,which dasnt seen so much water in all its time.I believe that its over the spilway for the first time in 20 years.
The dam in Sydney had spilled over for the first time in 20 years as well

Here's hoping it's not too much of a good thing.
