    I’m extending an invitation for all members, friends and relatives to come and join us at the beautiful Tillegra Bridge, at any time you can over this weekend, Sat 5 and Sun 6 Jan. This is a magical spot, come and share it with your friends, and bring a camping chair. We hope that our presence there will entice tourists to stop and find out what is going to be destroyed should this controversial proposal proceed. If we have plenty of friendly people there ready to talk to visitors, I’m sure we can convince them that this stupidity and autocratic state government should stop. Sustainable water planning is the answer to providing water security to the region, not massive dams.

    No Tillegra Dam Group (NTDG) held its first information booth at the Tillegra Bridge last weekend to inform locals and tourists of the proposed Tillegra Dam and about the NTDG’s campaign.

    The booth was a great success with many people, especially tourists keen to know about the proposed dam site and the changes the dam will have on the area.

    “We chose the Tillegra Bridge location because it marks the site of the dam wall, should this proposal go ahead. It’s just a little wooden bridge crossing the Williams River in a beautiful rural setting. It’s hard to imagine, if you look up above the bridge, that there could be a dam wall 700 metres long and 80 metres high holding back a storage of water the size of Sydney Harbour. And then there’s the spillway, a large bulky structure, as well. This is not progress this is destruction on a ridiculous scale”, Chair of the No Tillegra Dam Group, Sally Corbett said.
