Woronora Dam, Heritage-listed concrete gravity dam in New South Wales, Australia
The Woronora Dam stretches 390 meters across the Woronora River, standing 66 meters high and containing over 71,790 megalitres of water for Sydney's southern regions.
Construction began in 1927 as Sydney's fifth water supply dam, with work pausing during the Great Depression before completion in 1941 at a cost of 13 million dollars.
The dam's architecture exhibits Inter-war Stripped Classical style elements, integrating engineering features with the natural sandstone landscape of the Woronora River valley.
Visitors can access the site daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours until 7:00 PM during Daylight Saving Time weekends and public holidays.
The dam incorporates a serpentine overflow spillway system capable of handling 1,470 cubic meters of water per second during flood conditions.
