Lock 10 and Weir

The weir and lock were completed in 1929. The purpose of the weir is both to maintain a high level of water for irrigation in times of little and to regulate water flow.

The lock enables boats to pass from the upper stream to down stream level of the Murray River and vice versa.

To allow the migration of fish species upstream past the weir at anytime, special 'fishways' are being built at the abutments of Lock 10. A series of interconnected pools will allow the fish to move from pool to pool as part of their upstream travel.

For visitors to the weir and lock area, numerous picnic tables are available for a pleasant lunch by the water with barbeques across the road for those preferring to cook their own.
