WATER WEIRS - BRINDABELLA VIDEO


The weirs leading into the Cotter Catchment are displayed in this latest video from Johnny Boy's Walkabout entitled simply "A visit to Piccadilly weir, Lees Creek sawmill site, Ferny weir, Bulls Head weir, Warks weir and Blundells Creek weir." John captures some lovely footage of mountain creeks that eventually supply Canberra with it's pure drinking water.
