Holding Back the Mirror
Today’s shot is no where near Hobart but never the less i thought it worth sharing. It is of the Repulse Dam 7 km up a dirt road from Ouse in the Central Highlands and holds back Lake Repulse. The Repulse dam has one turbine and generates up to 28 MW of Electricity having been a compromise between Hydro Electricity Generation and agricultural needs. The water flowing through this dam will travel through a further two dams and eventually through Hobart and out to sea.
As well as the generation of electricity, the lake is a popular destination for venues for fishing, canoeing and water skiing.The buoys in the picture are marking the exclusion zone from the dam.
