Information
Lyndhurst is a small village, 42km NE of Cowra NSW.
In the late 1800s / early 1900s, Lyndhurst once served as a major supply centre for the nearby Junction Reef goldfields.
In 1895, the Junction Reefs Dam was constructed on the Belubula River for a turbine to generate power to service commercial mining operations.
The cement dam at the time was deemed to be the most distinctive in NSW, and the first multiple-arch dam in Australia..
The dam held approx. 540 million gallons and backup up the Belubula River approx 1 mile.
Mining included gold, copper, silver, nickel, molybdenum, cobalt, iron, barite and even some uranium.
In 1908, the township was once shortlisted for a proposed site for our National Capital.
