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.

Damn, this holiday among the trees is too nice. Do I have to return to the suburban wasteland of home?! #yarraranges #melbourne

Was in the #YarraRanges yesterday.

The Yarra Ranges National Park is located in the Central Highlands of Victoria, 107 km northeast of #melbourne, #Australia.

#gumtrees galore.

These scenes were in abundance on the drive up the mountain, heading towards the peak.

The scenery, albeit it overcast and drizzly at this level, was superb!

Snow will adorn this area within weeks.

🙏💖❄️
