Power Station
A hydroelectric power station at Warragamba Dam begins operating once the level in the reservoir reaches to within one metre of full capacity. Its output is 50 Mega-Watts, but the dam water level has not been high enough for it to operate since 1998.
In the upper left corner of the view (below) looking roughly southeastwards are Sydney's western suburbs. A crooked corridor of development may also be seen leading through the forested mountains to Sydney suburbs of Katoomba and Blackheath (near the centre) and beyond.

Famous quotes containing the words power and/or station:
“The imagination is man’s power over nature.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
