Blowering Dam, Embankment dam in Snowy Mountains region, Australia
The Blowering Dam features a 747-meter-long wall rising 114 meters high, creating a reservoir that holds 1,628,000 megalitres of water.
The construction of Blowering Dam commenced in 1964 and reached completion in 1968, forming part of the extensive Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Scheme.
The dam represents a milestone in Australian engineering, contributing to both agricultural development and power generation throughout New South Wales.
Visitors can access multiple boat ramps, fishing spots for Murray cod and golden perch, and camping facilities equipped with picnic tables and barbecues.
Ken Warby established the world water speed record of 511 kilometers per hour on Blowering Reservoir in 1978, a record that remains unbroken.
