Tallowa Dam, Gravity dam in Goulburn Mulwaree Council, Australia.

The Tallowa Dam spans 528 meters across the Shoalhaven River, creating Lake Yarrunga with a surface area of 831 hectares.

Construction of the dam commenced in 1972 and reached completion in 1976, with a total investment of 11.25 million Australian dollars.

The dam supports the water needs of multiple communities across the Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands regions through its extensive distribution network.

Lake Yarrunga offers designated areas for canoeing, swimming, and fishing activities, with accessible picnic facilities and canoe launching points.

The dam incorporates a mechanical fish lift system that enables native fish species to continue their migration patterns across the concrete barrier.
