It is 53 metres high and will continue growing until it hits 80 metres. More than 260,000 cubic metres of concrete have been poured, according to an ACTEW Water spokesman. And there's still another 120,000 cubic metres to go.

I've spent many many days there as a kid. Then enjoyed many times there with my kids and ultimately spent many time there with all the family. Christmas, Easter, birthdays and fun days. Swimming, bbq-ing, picnicing etc. Must go and have a look at this sometime soon. I have photos somewhere ...I can look back. Sue
oh my gosh! how amazing!!! My daughter will be a senior civil engineering major and gets so excited about these kinds of projects...she is always pointing them out to us with such passion!! but not not on this scale...she would love to see this.
I've never been good at picturing things when I see them halfway through. This may be why I feel like crying whenever we have work done on our house.
impresive john!
