Summary

Torrens Lake, weir and foot-bridge. The weir was constructed in 1881 to form the Torrens Lake. Prior to this the River was reduced to a black sewer rather than the pristine river which flowed before colonisation. When the river's gravel was taken for road building and the trees were cut down the banks eroded and the waterholes filled in reducing the flow of the river
