Lake Hume, New South Wales, Australia
4.5 (326 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in Albury Bodies of Water
An epic construction for its time
I am sure many people come, look & leave. Take your time to read the history of this huge facility. Considering how many workers were involved & the work being done by hand you get an appreciation of what was involved to build such a lasting piece of Australian history. When you have also travelled the Murray Darling systems from their tiny starting points to their ends, the whole puzzle fits together as to how epic the entire system is. If only we had more facilities like these today to stop the flooding that occurs. Well worth visiting & taking many photos of.

Zoom over to the Hume
It is quite a lovely drive from Albury to Lake Hume. The roads wind a bit so maybe drive slowly for those people who suffer from motion sickness. Around the lake is very windy. Best time of day to go is the middle of the day because you will have the sun behind you while you look at the lake.

Great views.
I had a couple of hours before my plane flight so I drove out to the Hume Weir. It is a short drive through nice countryside and once there, the views are fantastic. It was a windy day so the waves from the lake were crashing onto the rocks and the weir. It made for a spectacular sight.
