Dartmouth Dam and Mitta Mitta, Victoria.

From our "base" at Pig Point Reserve we went on a Sunday Drive to Dartmouth Dam and Mitta Mitta Township. We have now travelled the length of the Mitta Mitta River Valley below the Dartmouth Spillway. The valley is beautiful, fertile and productive with both beef cows and dairy cows in large numbers.

The back of the Dartmouth wall. Notice the whiter areas on the Batters in the background? that is where the water flows from the spillway.
