Information

The Jundoo Dam has historic significance for its association with the Mount Magnet-Sandstone railway line. It has further social significance as a popular recreational destination for local Sandstone residents.

Situated approximately 34 kms west of Sandstone, the Jundoo Dam is a large earth dam. The dam has a long slip way which extends to a nearby creek which had a barrier to divert water into the dam. There was a timber jetty which extended from the west side of the dam however no evidence of it remains.

The Jundoo Dam provided a water supply for the steam trains on the Mount Magnet-Sandstone railway line. Over the years the Dam has been a very popular picnic spot.
