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.

Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.”
