Fitzroy Falls Dam, Embankment dam in New South Wales, Australia.
Fitzroy Falls Dam consists of four separate embankments made of earth and rock that stretch across Yarrunga Creek and stand 14 meters high. The structure stores water for local communities while also generating electricity for the region.
Construction began in 1971 as part of a plan to improve the region's water supply. The project started because an older dam could no longer meet growing demand.
The reservoir serves as a key part of the regional water system that supplies communities across the area. Many visitors pass by without realizing how central this infrastructure is to daily operations in the region.
The dam sits in a peaceful landscape with several paths for exploring the surroundings. It is best to visit in the morning when the light is good and the area is less crowded.
The dam connects to another water reservoir through underground tunnels, which represent an impressive engineering feat. This hidden infrastructure shows how intricate the water systems are that supply the region.
