Title

Bacchus Marsh diversion weir

Description

The diversion weir was used for early irrigation purposes within the Werribee Gorge. The boulders to the left of this photograph clearly show the different mud tillits that make up the formation of these rocks. These boulders would weigh in around 200 to 300 tonnes.
