Took a drive down to the southwest last weeked. Finally made it to the old Augusta water wheel. This supplys fresh spring water to an old wheel that now fosselised . This was for when they were making the lighthouse in the 1800's

Really good looking photos, and it is interesting to have a description with them. If ever I come over your way, it looks like the sort of place I'd like to visit. The water must be incredibly mineralised.
