m

The Winburndale Dam is a concrete gravity and earth-filled embankment dam across the Winburndale Rivulet, located in the central west of New South Wales, Australia. The dam is situated within the Winburndale Nature Reserve, 19 kilometres (12 mi) east of Bathurst, New South Wales; and public access to the dam is prohibited. The dam is 22 metres (72 ft) high and 233 metres (764 ft) long. The resultant 1,700-megalitre (1, 400 acre⋅ft) reservoir draws from an 88-square-kilometre (34 sq mi) catchment area. The reservoir was a source for the supply of raw water to Bathurst for the watering of parks and industrial use.
