What a great sight after 150mm fall in 1 week early 2008. Thats what it took to take the top dam from empty to overflowing. Unfortunately the previous owners must have employed somebody who knew nothing about siting or building dams as this one leaks at a fair rate. Only holding in the very bottom. Be careful who you use to dig your waterholes.
Here you can see the lower dam overflowing in the foreground. This was running for a couple of weeks after the rains. The top dam overflows into the bottom dam via a gully. I suspect the top dam also leaks into this gully.
