Summary

The top dam or reservoir is about 100m west of Wittunga house. The windmill on its southern bank pumps water into the tank close by. From the tank water reticulates to the vegetable garden and the Home Orchard. The dam was filled in when Shepherds Hill Road (formerly Cliff Street ) was widened in 1971.
