Welcome to Yan Yean Reservoir! Home to Melbourne's oldest water supply.
There's wetlands, an old pump house and homestead to explore. Wander around this pretty park, roll down the grassy hills, have a picnic, soak in the view or find a geocache. The park can get busy on the weekend and warmer months.
The coordinates will have you at a bluestone tower - a material commonly seen in structures around the surrounding area from this era. The tower houses old equipment that was used to pump water through the channel to Melbourne and was constructed in 1874. This remained in use until 1961. You can explore some of the old channel nearby - I think they look like Wallace & Gromit trousers.
You are looking for a magnetic micro - beware muggles and creepy crawlies and please remember to replace it where you found it.
Please note: This park closes overnight. Gate times are posted at the entrance.
