Notes: The township was flooded when the dam was completed in 1967. It now lies under the waters of Lake Jindabyne adjacent to the tiny settlement of East Jindabyne on the eastern side of the dam, opposite the new township. In fact some of the roads in East Jindabyne still disappear into the lake to continue underwater. This appears to be looking north so taken late afternoon.
There is a Pioneer tour bus on the left hand approach.
The bridge is a three span McDonald truss. Of the original 91 built in NSW 1880-1902 only five survive, these date 1893-1902. The surviving Bombala bridge 107 kms away was built 1902, the Tumut bridge 214 kms away was built 1895.
