Slide:  Slide 6a
This structure was built in the late 1950s by the Shire of Talbot and Clunes. It was designed to safely direct flows of water into the gully and thus control erosion. Soon it was threatened by erosion itself and the Shire asked for help from the Soil Conservation Authority. The catchment was contour furrowed, structures were built, water was diverted to safe places and trees were planted.
