Old Adaminaby and Lake Eucumbene, Heritage site near Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales, Australia
Lake Eucumbene covers the former settlement of Old Adaminaby, with building foundations and remnants visible during periods of low water levels.
The Snowy Hydro Electric Authority constructed Lake Eucumbene between 1956 and 1958, requiring the relocation of the original Adaminaby township to higher ground.
The Ngarigo people maintained seasonal camps in the Adaminaby region, establishing major gathering points for summer hunting across the Monaro territory.
Lake Eucumbene supports recreational activities throughout the year, with facilities for trout fishing, boating, and multiple camping areas along the shoreline.
During droughts, the water level drops to reveal the preserved foundations of the original township, including church structures and cemetery plots.
