Maroondah Reservoir Park — Attraction in Melbourne

Nice enough place. If you lived in the area, it would be a good spot for picnics and walks. As a traveller, it's an OK spot to stretch your legs. The faux waterfall, a nice lily pad pond and the towering dam wall make for an interesting wander.

Really enjoyed seeing the rubbish strewn at the bottom of the falls by wonderful humans who obviously think the 'take your rubbish with you' policy doesn't apply to them, and that chucking their rubbish in a waterway is OK if it means keeping the inside of their massive $100k suburban 4WD clean.

The sheer beauty and tranquility of the place are unparalleled, offering everything you need for a perfect outing.
