==Weir== The town is home to an important weir situated on the Murray River, a few kilometres north of the township. The weir was built in the 1920s. It operated efficiently until 1992 when it was damaged extensively. After numerous unsuccessful repairs, it was decided the weir would be rebuilt with a new design that was completed during 1996. An information centre was built outlining the importance and history of the weir.<ref name = "Torrumbarry Weir info">{{Citation | last = Goulburn-Murray Water | title = Torrumbarry Weir | url = http://www.g-mwater.com.au/water-resources/storages/torrumbarryweir | accessdate = 2009-01-01}}</ref> A post office was built at the weir in 1919 but closed 5 years later due to the fact it was rarely used.<ref name="Post Office List">{{Citation | last = Phoenix Auctions History | title = Post Office List | url = http://www.phoenixauctions.com.au/cgi-bin/wsPhoenix.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=VIC&filter=*Torrumbarry* | access-date = 6 April 2021 }}</ref>
