This picture shows the hold up re the eastern ramp at Hinze Dam.
The picture of a land slide on the access road was taken on Jan 30, and a few days ago the clay was nice and dry on the graded bypass track seen in the picture.

Gee not much of a slope to have slipped like that.

Up to the right out of picture was a clay cliff face with the whole section only grass cover, and after copping about 300mms of rain in a couple of days during the big wet it all turned to pug and slipped.

Had a look at the western ramp at Hinze today Friday 15 and the gauge still showing 0.50m above the spillway.
Water was level with the top of the concrete ramp.
