Concrete gravity dam on upper
Murrumbidgee River completed in 1961 as part of the
Snowy Mountains Scheme. Water is diverted into a 3 metre diameter, 16.6 km long tunnel emptying into
Lake Eucumbene at Providence Portal. Water returns to the lower Murrumbidgee via 4 power stations on the Tumut River.
Trout fishing and camping in the cool alpine summer. Access to dam all year subject to snowfalls. Beyond dam the road to
Currango Homestead is closed June to Oct long weekends.
