Cotter Dam, near Canberra, ACT, Australia
25 Sept 2016: After heavy winter rainfall the Cotter Dam is now full and overflowing. One of the pleasures of living in Canberra is the opportunity to drink the pure mountain water stored behind this dam.

Roadtrip to Corin Dam - Part 3
This is part 3 of a drive along my favourite road to Corin Dam, approximately 25km south of Canberra. The dam is one of the water supplies for Canberra.
The 2003 bushfires went through much of this area & the evidence of their destructive power is obvious through much of the drive.
These fires even reached the edge of the suburb that the drive starts in but thankfully no houses were damaged here. The suburbs Chapman & Duffy to the west was not so lucky with over 500 homes lost & the deaths of 4 people.
Once I reach the dam in the third video you will see the impact of the drought on Canberra's water supply.
I was inspired to make this by Deepsouthcycle's videos of his home town & surrounds.

Lake Burley Griffin is an artificial lake in the centre of Canberra, the capital of Australia. It was completed in 1963 after the Molonglo River—which ran between the city centre and Parliamentary Triangle—was dammed. It is named after Walter Burley Griffin, the American architect who won the competition to design the city of Canberra.
Griffin designed the lake with many geometric motifs, so that the axes of his design lined up with natural geographical landmarks in the area. However, government authorities changed his original plans and no substantial work was completed before he left Australia in 1920. Griffin's proposal was further delayed by the Great Depression and World War II, and it was not until the 1950s that planning resumed. After political disputes and consideration of other proposed variations, excavation work began in 1960 with the energetic backing of Prime Minister Robert Menzies. After the completion of the bridges and dams, the dams were locked in September 1963. However, because of a drought, the lake's target water level was not reached until April 1964. The lake was formally inaugurated on 17 October 1964.
The lake is located in the approximate geographic centre of the city, and is the centrepiece of the capital in accordance with Griffin's original designs. Numerous important institutions, such as the National Gallery, National Museum, National Library, Australian National University and the High Court were built on its shores, and Parliament House is a short distance away. Its surrounds, consisting mainly of parklands, are popular with recreational users, particularly in the warmer months. Though swimming in the lake is uncommon, it is used for a wide variety of other activities, such as rowing, fishing, and sailing.
The lake is an ornamental body with a length of 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) and a width, at its widest, of 1.2 kilometres (0.75 mi). It has an average depth of 4 metres (13 ft) and a maximum depth of about 18 metres (59 ft) near the Scrivener Dam. Its flow is regulated by the 33-metre-tall (108 ft) Scrivener Dam, designed to handle floods that occur once in 5,000 years. In times of drought, water levels can be maintained through the release of water from Googong Dam, located on an upstream tributary of the Molonglo River.
