Dam sites in the Upper Cotter valley between Bushrangers and Collins Creeks

Created 16/10/2025

Updated 19/11/2025

In November, 1945, the Department of Works and Housing requested that a Geological Survey be made of a section of the Upper Cotter Valley in which it is proposed to construct a dam. Four possible dam sites were examined along the Upper Cotter River between Bushrangers and Collins Creeks. This report deals with the geology of the area examined with special reference to possible dam sites. The report is also intended as a basis for future regional work in the area lying west of the Murrumbidgee River where little is known of the geological structure and stratigraphical sequence.
