A wonderful and thrilling experience to see the dam open and to watch the rocks change to rapids. Check the website for the dam release hours, as they only release three or fours times a day - depends upon the season. Arrive in time to walk through the bush up to the different viewing platforms, or watch from the bridge close to the carpark.
