A DAM FINE STROLL

IF you’ve decided on the View Cafe for a bite to eat and have a little spare time, go for a relaxing stroll at Hinze Dam. The structure originally cost $359m when it was constructed in 1976, before being raised another 15m in 1989. Visitors can read more about its history at the visitors’ centre and later walk the dam wall. My favourite part about the dam though are the “ghost trees” that fringe the shallow parts of the dam, adding a line of grey to an otherwise green and blue landscape.

The dam is also popular with anglers for catch and release.
