Seventy years on, the 'town that moved' isn't going anywhere (opens original article in a new tab)

Seventy years ago, the town of Tallangatta relocated 8 kilometers west to avoid flood risks from the Hume Dam expansion, with most buildings moved or rebuilt and the town remaining in its new location since then.

• Tallangatta town moved 8 km west between 1954-1956 due to flood risks from Hume Dam expansion.
• Old buildings were transported, rebuilt, or repurposed, with some structures like the Presbyterian church left behind.
• The relocated town has remained inhabited for 70 years, with no plans to move again.
