WELLINGTON DAM ARCHAEOLOGY
A 1930s forest valley preserved
beneath Wellington Dam
Wellington Dam was built in the early 1930s, and when the reservoir filled, it swallowed a working forest valley complete with jarrah trees, timber tracks, and corduroy roads. The cold, fresh water has kept it all in remarkable condition. On their weekends, Patrick, Aren and Andrew are systematically mapping the site using multibeam sonar, technical diving, and underwater line mapping adapted from cave diving techniques.
Come along to hear what they've found, and please get in touch if you have any information about the valley before it was flooded!
