Whispering Wall.

As we were in the area and the sun was shining, we decided to visit the Barossa Reservoir which is located a short distance from Gawler South Australia towards Mannum. The reservoir was built between 1899 and 1903 to supply the township of Gawler with water.










The wall of the reservoir got it's name of Whispering Wall because of the excellent acoustics that has been created by the construction.

When you stand with one person at each end of the wall on the inside of the curve, you can whisper to each other. This can be heard by the other person as if you are standing along side of each other.

Once the wall was completed, it was then realized that if you were to stand at one end of the wall, you could then talk to someone at the other end as if they were standing along side of you.









This photo is taken from the western end of the wall while the very top photo was taken from the eastern end. The centre photo was taken looking across the southern side of the wall while standing towards the eastern side.
