Glebe Weir

Glebe Weir would not be one of my normal stops.  I prefer to camp where there is no one within cooee¹. But, I was stuffed², so stopped for a couple of days.

It's marked as a spot for grey nomads to camp. and gets a listing as a great fishing spot. Some are refusing to fish there now. During my time, no one was catching anything. The recently opened Woleebee Creek to Glebe Weir Pipeline was getting the blame. It will be discharging up to 100 megaliters of Coal Seam Gas (CSG) water per day into the weir for the next 25 years.

I wouldn't be getting the cozzie³ out for a swim in it.

Long drop

Just through the gates at the weir, you can't miss seeing the dunny⁴. Unlike the modern ones, it has a good long drop built into it to ensure no splash back.
