Torrens Weir

The quite achiever! I think the mudbutt incident of ’09 when the Torrens Lake drained was a cry for attention from the Weir! Like, «hey look at the good work I do! Half of the people in this town don’t even know it’s a lake.!»
The Weir marks a point where the River Torrens starts to let its hair down a bit. Down stream the banks are a little unkempt, a little wilder and perhaps a little more fun. Surrounded by shady trails, the Weir is a nice starting point for a break from the city or suburbia. It’s also a good pedestrian link, with a shiny new timber surface, between the north and south banks.
The signage «No Bathing» seems unnecessary. And the original plaque reads ‘these gates were opened 1929′ acchumm, opened. Granted the state gov is capable of building an ‘open’ weir… But, they mean shut! Keep it shut! Those shopping carts are below a couple of meters of water for a reason! Lets keep them there.
