    Another fun fact bout Gordon dam there’s no rio in it, it’s all concrete. The way it’s double concave gives its strength. Also there’s a series of plumbobs inside the wall to measure deflection to see how much water pressure forcing on the wall. Interesting history there and the power station insane also.

      @@davebarns1 yea ya only see a small percentage of what’s actually there. Up top is basically a workshop and offices the real wonder is 28-29 stories below ground where the turbines are it’s a impressive site. They normally run a open day where the public can go look. I’ve worked there before doing turbine repairs and other maintenance outages. Pretty impressive.

      Yeh really? Wow i didn’t expect that, i got up & stepped out 18meters in my hallway & was think’n Faaaaark imagine how much rio is in that it’d be insane. Now ya say there’s non, must be a strong concrete mix’n plenty of rocks & some full-on foundations.. Still a excellent engineering feat for Oz🇦🇺 especially for 1972-74 & still stand’n strong.

      @@triggerhappy8872 it’s all to do with its double concave shape. The more water that’s in the lake the stronger it gets. Massive engineering accomplishment for its time

    They tidy up saw back range about every 3 to 4 years to try and keep it in a condition that isn't flogged out so stockish cars can run through there, last one was maybe 18 months ago, also being key system helps keep the track from getting flogged like most of the other tracks down here too
