Mitchell River Old Weir Wall

The Mitchell River Old Weir Wall, also known as the Glenaladale Weir, stands as a testament to 19th-century engineering ambition. Constructed in 1893 at the junction of Stony Creek and the Mitchell River, the weir was intended to support extensive irrigation projects. However, it was severely damaged by flooding shortly after completion and was never repaired, leading to its abandonment. Today, visitors can explore the ruins, which offer panoramic views of the surrounding river and gorge. The site is accessible via a short walk from an informal car park where Old Weir Track crosses a tributary of Stony Creek.
