Whispering Wall, Barossa Reservoir, SA.

The whispering wall gets the name as one can hear the whisper from one end of the dam to the other side. The dam, located in Barossa Reservoir was built around 1899 to 1903 to supply the nearby suburb of Gawler. It's one of the largest dams made during the time in Australia. The curved structure dam wall is 144m long and has a height of 36 meters.

Whispering Wall
When you go close to the wall and whisper, someone on the other side could hear your clear voice. This phenomenon is caused when the sound waves travel in a series of straight lines. The reflection of sound traveling through the dome reaches the other end. In between, above the dam like a walking path that allows you to go from one end to the another. And, this will put you in between the river and land. The other side is way down, while the water reserve is right beside your feet as you walk. Truely great feeling to mark my feet in walkway.
We were a group of friends who made this travel together, and really enjoyed trying this phenomenon. Sometimes we will tease and joke around the each other, as we are 140 meter apart do each other any harm. Some good fun times.

One-side
The big reservoir of water made to facilitate the nearby suburb embraces the natural ecosystem of the reserve. Barossa Reservoir holds around 4.4 Giga Litres of water and is supplied to around 80,000 customers. The water source is from the Murray and South Para Rivers of Australia made possible with two two-mile tunnel.

The Other-Side
Barossa Reservoir is a protected conservation reserve home to different flora and fauna. Upon research, I realized there are picnic spots and walking trails, which I might discover on my next trip. The area is well facilitated with parking spots and also requires no ticket.

It was a good historical and natural spot to visit. The reservoir has supplemented the natural ecosystem, so you can hear birds chirping or singing. It is also a great destination to stay observing the scenic beauty. Truly, this dam built around 1900 was an architectural marvel using local resources and manpower.
I can only admire the hard work, dedication, and science put behind to make this happen.
