Lake Menindee by leggzy

Lake Menindee

Out near Broken Hill in the far North West of NSW. There are a number of lakes that make up what is known as Menindee Lakes, that make up series of shallow natural ephemeral lakes along the Darling River which have been developed into a water storage. When full they hold three and half times as much water as Sydney Harbour. Today the lakes supply water to Broken Hill, meet irrigation, stock and domestic needs of landholders between Menindee and Wentworth, and supplement the River Murray system.

And besides all that....they are beautiful!
Taken a few years ago and is part of my "Wind-Back Wednesday" theme. TFL :)
Beautiful!

Now I am feeling really sad to know that this is not in New Zealand. What a lovely place to photography.
