This water resivior is for gunning it was made because the Lachlan river was not giving a good clean supply of water(brown water came out of the taps) , so now the council built this dam at 9.7 million dollars. If the river dryes up gunning can last on the dam for 8 months.
this is also a great train spotting spot it is even better if you drive up the road a bit more and also a great veiw.
