Tinaroo Dam Overflow 2011(Jan) |
Not far from Tolga is Kairi and then the township of Tinaroo where the Tinaroo Dam wall can be seen.
The local Council authority is the Tablelands Regional Council. Tolga falls within the State electorate of Hill and the Federal electorate of Kennedy.
Further north is Lakeland and Mt Mulligan, so we've included some photos to view as well.
