Information

The cemetery was part of the Old Adaminaby township which was inundated after 1956 by the rising waters behind Eucumbene Dam (part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme). The cemetery is above the full supply level so was left intact. A new town was built in the next valley with some buildings moved from the old site to the new.
Please note that nearby in a lower saddle on the ridge another dam wall (earth embankment) was built in the late 70's over 20 years after the original dam construction was finished. High water levels in 1974/5 almost reached the saddle. It was realised that should the Eucumbene Dam ever get up near 100% that the water would flow over this low saddle down the Lockyer Ck and into the new Adaminaby Township. A concrete spillway was built in 1977/8 near the dam wall.
