Abstract

The Glenmaggie Weir was on the Macallister River, in Gippsland, Victoria, two and a half miles from Glenmaggie village, and six miles north of Heyfield Railway Station, Heyfield itself was on the Maffra loop of the Bairnsdale line, 120 miles from Melbourne. It was intended that the weir should store water for the irrigation of the river flats of the Macallister, Thomson, and Avon Rivers, in the vicinity of Maffra, the scheme being an independent irrigation unit, and not forming part of a greater system as did the Sugarloaf storage.
