Images of Canberra - hunting for snow, find only water

Well actually none of the above. See Corin and Bendora are in effect the one system. Corin is used to fill Bendora by releasing water into the Cotter River, so Corin is down but Bendora is up.

Water is never drawn directly from Corin, and the pipe to Googong comes from Bendora.

wait for the snow on Wednesday

The easiest way to find snow in the ACT – is to google it.

The easiest way to find snow in the ACT is to take a drive up Brindabella road. At this time of year you should be able to find patches of snow up towards Picadilly Circus. If you get there and don’t find snow, then keep going to Mt Coree (probably only if you have a 4WD or mountain bike, or walk the ~5km). I have seen snow on the south side of Mt Coree in late spring!

Surreal scene at Selwyn two weeks ago with a roo hopping through the carpark and off across the ski fields. Then sighted a liarbird on the way back down the mountain (saw 6 of them there in one trip in 2001). Very nice part of the world, despite the fire damage.

didnt really have time for that either Gungahlin Al, thats at least a 3 1/2 hour round trip.

Jazz, as I said back here http://the-riotact.com/?p=5235#comments pursuing snow on the nearby ranges to save time can backfire – better to shoot down to Selwyn.

**Disclaimer**

My empire and its affiliates have nothing to do with the consumption of water from Corin Dam.

It is being drained by a secret undergrond army city…

They have been pumping to googong for ages, because it is more than twice as big, and gets less natural rainfall. Check out the ActewAGL site – Corin is the only dam whose level is not on the rise.
