Eildon Dam

Eildon Dam

The structure commonly known as the Eildon Weir, sometimes referred to as the Sugarloaf Dam, was built between 1915 and 1921, forming the initial Lake Eildon. The dam was later expanded and completed in 1956, resulting in the displacement of the towns of Bonnie Doone and Darlingford in Victoria, Australia.
