Auburn River Dam

The Auburn River Dam is a possible future reservoir located on the Auburn River near Mundubbera, Queensland. The site was recommended for a new dam site after a recent soil test declared the area's topography and clay based soil ideal for a large dammed reservoir. At present, no conclusive plans have been created and the dam has not been proposed by either the Queensland Government or Sunwater.

Initially proposed nearly 70 years ago, the Auburn Dam seemed like a promising project. Preliminary construction commenced a decade later, envisioning a concrete weir nearly 700 feet tall on the north fork of the American River, flanked by Sacramento and El Dorado counties.
