| Description : |
The weir and lock on the Patawalonga at Glenelg. The weir was built in 1960 to control tidal flooding and to create a recreational lake. Up until then stormwater flowed directly into the Gulf at the mouth of 'The Pat' which was a coastal estuary, subject to the ebb and flow of tidal movements. Upstream from the lock there is an extensive marina, and adjacent to Anderson Avenue a kayaking club has its headquarters. These in part fulfil the aims of recreational use of the Patawalonga. Pelicans frequent the area. |
