Winburndale Dam, Gravity dam in Central Western New South Wales, Australia.
The concrete structure rises 22 meters high on the Winburndale Rivulet, creating a reservoir that holds 1,700 megalitres of water at 812 meters elevation.
Construction of the dam started in 1931 during the Great Depression, utilizing Unemployment Relief funds to generate jobs, and reached completion in 1934.
The dam forms part of the Murray-Darling basin infrastructure, supporting agricultural activities and water management across New South Wales communities.
Located 19 kilometers east of Bathurst, the dam supplies raw water through a 21-kilometer wood stave pipeline for parks and industrial purposes.
Brown trout and rainbow trout populations inhabit the dam's waters, which cover 24 hectares when at full capacity.
