Information

Ruins of an old weir. The construction of this weir on the Mitchell River was plagued by floods and problems with the foundations. Despite being completed in 1893, the weir never operated and now lies in ruins.

To visit the Old Weir day visitor site, turn left off Weir Road onto Milton Park Road. Please be aware that the end of this road down into the day visitor site is rated as a Double-Black Diamond 4WD track, and is suitable for experienced four-wheel-drivers only. Visitors can access the site on foot - park your vehicle at the top of the hill and walk approximately one kilometre to the site. Please take plenty of water.
