Auburn River Dam

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Auburn River Dam is a proposed dam across the Auburn River, located near Mundubbera, in the Wide Bay-Burnett region of Queensland, Australia. The site was recommended for a new dam site after an earlier soil test declared the area's topography and clay based soil ideal for a large dammed reservoir. At present, no conclusive plans have been created and the dam has not been proposed by either the Queensland Government or SunWater.
