Thanks Derek!
We're definitely spoilt with the ease of taking snaps these days.

You might be mortified to learn that from the mid 60's to around the mid 80's,

Somewhat worryingly, the idea still gets raised now and then.

It would be the pinnacle of naivety and greed to destroy something as beautiful as this.
Thanks Gary, and thanks for the info. That would be terrible!
We saw some photos in the local tourist information centre of the flood they had last year - almost the whole town was under water.

It's such a remote and beautiful place, would be a shame to spoil it.
