- Abstract
A significant segment of Australia's heritage is associated with its many dams. These sites can increase understanding of social and economic as well as the technological aspects. As part of a broader project, the paper describes the organisation of the first nation-wide survey of heritage dams and the selection of 26 dams most worthy of nomination for listing on the Register of the National Estate. The survey focussed on large dams, i.e. dams over 15m high. A profile of each of the selected dams is included, and the relevance of this assessment to Australian heritage studies is indicated.
