Windamere Dam
Windamere Dam and Cudgeong Waters Park are situated 25 kilometres east of Mudgee, in the central west

commemorates the first settler, from whose descendants land was acquired for water storage purposes.

requirements. Golden perch, silver perch and small numbers of Murray cod were released in 1985, with
regular re-stockings since. Golden perch up to 10 kilograms have been landed and other species of fish
weighing up to 7 kilograms have been landed. A fishing competition is held every Easter. All water sports can
be done at Windamere Dam.
