The dam overflowed in September 2013, the first time since 2009. The last time a Perth dam overflowed was in 1996, the level of the Wellington Dam was once again close to overflow when we visited in November - a very wet spring accounted for the exccess water.
The outlet pipe shoots a stream of water down to the overflow region where a bridge allows access.
Only a small degree of overflow is occurring, this is the water exhausted through the outlet pipe at the base of the dam.
