Mum was still visiting so we thought a quick trip to the Hinze Dam would be good. We have not been up there since they decided to raise the wall by 15M. This effectively doubled the capacity of the dam.

They have built a new information centre and also plenty of walking paths, something to explore on another day when there is the chance to do some of the walks. It also appears that you can no longer drive along the wall.
