Falls Creek

Falls Creek, an alpine resort at the headwaters of the Kiewa River, north-east Victoria, is 90 km south-east of Wodonga.

In 1938 the State Electricity Commission of Victoria (SEC) began construction of the Kiewa hydroelectric scheme and by the end of World War II had established the Bogong village and a nearby power station. The full scheme involved the construction of two reservoirs on the Kiewa River's headwaters at Pretty Valley and Rocky Valley. The latter storage, the larger of the two, is 3 km upstream from Falls Creek.
