The Lake is Overflowing! - February 2017
Finally!
Our lake is full and overflowing, which is a wonderful sight after two years of draught.
In late 2015 about 150-180 megs fo water were pumped out of our lake
and during the 2016 wet-season we had no inflow into our big lake at
all, so by late 2016 it looked rather "empty".
We were thrilled to see that a single good rainfall event this year
filled the lake up rather quick. It took less than a week for the lake
to rise by 3.5 or 4 meters and to start overflowing! Considering that
Lake Tinaroo, the areas main dam only went from 1/3 to 1/2 we are
counting ourselves blessed.
And it creates such a nice feeling being in our new marquee which is now right on the waters edge...
 Nice to see the lake full again!

This was our lake in September 2016

 Looking towards the overflow. |  and standing in the overflow and looking back towards the lake

 The overflow was flowing well...

 this overlay gives you the comparison between the over 25 acre full lake and the about 15 acre "empty" looking lake

 Reflections on the lake...
