Dam, That’s Big

Burrinjuck was originally known as Booren Yiack, changing over time to Barren Jack and the present-day Burrinjuck. Lake Burrinjuck also known as Burrinjuck Dam, was the first major dam built for irrigation in NSW and when construction began in 1909 it was the fourth largest dam in the world.

The dam covers an area larger than 8,000 football fields and holds almost twice as much water as Sydney Harbour. More than a natural playground, Burrinjuck Dam supports agriculture across 660,000 hectares and supplies stock and domestic needs, as well as environmental flows, flood mitigation and hydroelectricity. While Burrinjuck Road provides glimpses of the dam wall and spillway, there is no public access to the wall itself.
