[edit] Summary

This is the South Esk River in flood, the suspension bridge can be clearly seen here. Before the Hydro Dam was built in the 1950's upstream, floodwaters could rise up as high as this bridge (12metres). In the past, there was a power station at Duck Reach, about 2 1/2 kilometres from this bridge. It was washed away liuterally in the super floods of 1929, rebuilt and then decommissioned when the new dam was finished in 1955. The building remains today as an interpretive museum. Picture taken by Marc Houghton (C) 2004, private collection. All information derived from personal knowledge.
