Although I've lived in Melton for 5 years I had never been to this reservoir until recently. I didn't even know where it was! That's a bit sad really, but it's often the case that you don't check out your local places of interest.
We happened to be driving past on our way out of town (an area we don't usually go through) when I saw the sign, so a detour was made!
Speed boat racing used to be held here but due to the on going drought the water levels are way too low for this at the moment. Check out the photos for how low it is.
There were a few people fishing. Nice way to spend a sunny afternoon.
Kids play area looked ok. Included a little yellow dinghy on a spring thing...fun!
Good place for a picnic or bbq. Free bbq's are available.
