Dunstan Mountains Beyond Poolburn Dam - Limited Edition Art Print

September 28, 2022

Dunstan Mountains Beyond Poolburn Dam - Limited Edition Art Print
The Poolburn Dam was a filming location for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers. The huts were transformed into Rohan Huts with thatched roofs.
The Poolburn Dam is a barren, rocky, endless landscape, accessed via the very rough Moa Creek road, located west of the Rough Ridge Range. Long Valley Creek feeds the reservoir, and the reservoir itself feeds the Ida Valley. The reservoir is inhabited by fisherman huts dotted around, and is an excellent place to fish for brown trout.
View the print here.
