Long Point Diversion Dam redirects water from the Lerderderg River through underground tunnels toward Goodman Creek and Lake Merrimu. The structure sits within the gorge landscape, contrasting with the otherwise rugged and natural river environment. The surrounding area also carries strong links to the region’s gold mining history, where river diversions and tunnels were historically cut through the gorge to expose riverbeds for alluvial gold mining.
