Dartmouth Dam

The Dartmouth Dam is a large gravity dam across the Mitta Mitta, Gibbo and Dart rivers, the Morass Creek and a number of small tributaries. The dam is located near Mount Bogong in the north-east of the Australian state of Victoria. The dam's purpose includes irrigation, the generation of hydroelectricity, water supply and conservation. The impounded reservoir is called Dartmouth Reservoir, sometimes called Lake Dartmouth. The Dartmouth Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station generates power to the national grid, is located near the dam wall. The dam is Australia's tallest dam, at 180 metres (590 ft).
