The township of #Reefton a rural locale in #Victoria, #Australia is located in the gorgeous #YarraRanges.

It is just over 100klms from Melbourne and is well worth visiting this time of year. And it only recorded a population of 102 at the 2021 census!

Reefton is home to The Upper Yarra Reservoir, which supplies water to most parts of Melbourne.

Reservoir stats…

Catchment area: 33,670 ha (83,200 acres)

Surface area: 750 ha (1,900 acres)

Average depth: 27 m (89 ft)

Capacity: 200,000 ML (7.1 billion cubic foot)

Looking from the observation area really highlighted the scope and size of this body of water.

Quite extraordinary. So too, beautiful.
