Information

Still able to be driven across as the road links Bingara with Inverell. Copeton is one of the largest earth and rockfill dams in NSW. At 113 m high and 1.5 km long it is an impressive structure. The view from the crest is striking with the vast valley of the Gwydir River surrounded by huge bleached granite tors.
