About Lake Eildon
Lake Eildon is a suburb of Northern Victoria,
Victoria and is about 113 kms northeast of VIC's

Lake Eildon is a large man-made fresh water
inland lake in Central Victoria. The lake is
surrounded by the amazing Lake Eildon National
Park.
The Eildon Dam or Eildon Weir, a rock and earth-
fill embankment dam with a controlled spillway
across the Goulburn River, is located
between the regional towns of Mansfield and
Eildon within Lake Eildon National Park, in
the Alpine region of Victoria, Australia. The dam's
purpose is for the supply of potable
water, irrigation, and the generation of
hydroelectricity. The impounded reservoir is
called Lake Eildon.
