“Silent Spring Falls Dam” signed framed art print by Grahame Sydney

Falls Dam village is a collection of fishermen’s squatter huts at the foot of the Hawkdun Range. No electricity, no water supply, no plumbing – it’s simple, primitive living. The dam was a 1930s make-work irrigation scheme project to keep Depression-era men employed. Now the little village and its wide-open valley setting are threatened by drowning: a scheme to raise the lake to provide more water for more intensive farming in the district hangs like a guillotine over its head – the extinction of Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” in another, local guise. – Grahame Sydney
