Cardinia
reservoir.
Cardinia Reservoir was made in the 1960's and was finished in 1973.
I interviewed Craig Reaburn (who works at the
school as a I.T Technician)and who also used to be a student at Emerald Primary
School. He was a part of the construction of Cardinia reservoir. He drove a
bulldozer and cleared out the trees. All the houses on the area where the
reservoir was to be built were sold and destroyed. The roads were closed and moved.
Craig was sixteen years old when he was working on the job. It took
three years to complete and bought many people to Emerald.
