2025-10-17 IMGP0797 sculptures, Coleambally
A vibrant and harmonious community with beautiful gardens and streets named after local birds and is one of the newest towns in New South Wales, officially opened in June 1968. The story of Coleambally is built on water. The community was explicitly built to take advantage of the additional water made available by the Snowy Mountains Scheme.
The scheme called for the water of the Snowy and Eucumbene Rivers to be diverted inland through a series of tunnels and dams, under the Great Dividing Range, and into the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers. The scheme has since been described as one of the Seven Engineering Wonders of the World.
