24.01.2022 This is the last Van and Annexe we have for sale, all the others have been snapped up, only relisted as existing sale fell through.

22.01.2022 Great day yesterday at our first Garage Sale. Weather was a bit brisk, but good to see everyone out and about having fun and picking up a bargain or 2.

19.01.2022 Colin has done it again. 2 nice Rainbows. A lot of our residents have been targeting, catching and eating these massive fish. A tip is to watch your rod as they will drag it in if your not watching, also up your leader. Best time of the day is between 2 and 4 pm and rainbow and green powerbait is the go. Thanks for the tips Col.

18.01.2022 MAJESTIC KINGLAKE SILVER CREEK CIRCUIT HIKE This 13.5km, grade 3 circuit hike is located in the Wallaby Creek Water Catchment area of the Kinglake ...National Park. The hike should take approximately 4hrs to complete and the loop can be taken either way (clockwise or anticlockwise). This is quite a scenic walk with a few steep hills to get the lungs going! The tracks follow vehicle management tracks and are in good condition. The area is still regenerating from the tragic fires but the regrowth is simply beautiful and the wildlife in abundance. There are the cascades roughly halfway along that are worth a look as well. Ps. Pack your camera! Getting there: Kinglake National Park is 65km north-east of Melbourne. Follow the Whittlesea-Yea Road north towards Flowerdale. Approximately 13.5km from the junction of Whittlesea-Kinglake road you will locate Silver Creek Road on your left. Follow this for approximately 1.5km to the park entrance and car park. If you get to Hazeldene you have missed it!!

18.01.2022 RUBICON VALLEY AQUEDUCTS WALK & STUNNING FALLS The Rubicon Valley has a rich timber history with many of its remnants still visible today. It's also ho...me to Victoria's first hydro scheme which in the 1930s provided one fifth of Victoria's electricity needs. Today it offers awesome walks and historic insight amongst towering gums and flowing water. Oh, and it's a dog friendly area so you can explore with your furry friend! THE TRESTLE BRIDGE WALK - This is definitely one not to miss! Starting from the junction of Royston Road / Rubicon River Road, follow the Rubicon River Road service access track* through towering trees to the Royston Power Station. It is possible to access the aqueduct track here at the Royston trestle bridge or continue following the access road round to the 15,000ft Siphon Bridge, one of the epic viewpoints of the trail to join. You can then follow the rough track along the old 2ft tramway either up the valley taking in the trestle bridges to the Rubicon Dam or in the opposite direction following the aqueducts to a point overlooking the valley below and the pipeline feeding the Rubicon hydro power station. The trail has many historic relics and you'll often be the only person exploring up there. *The access track is generally closed to vehicles but you may be lucky enough to find it open! This trail passes close to open and often fast moving aqueducts so take care with little people and animals. This time of year the trestle bridges can also be slippery under foot so watch your step. RUBICON FALLS Starting from the Rubicon Hydro Power Station, follow the Rubicon River Road (service access track only) upwards through the steep sided valley above with the rushing river. The falls come into view as you climb higher and there is a scenic lookout point from above the falls. The Rubicon Falls are one of the less visited falls of the 10+ in our region but at this time of year following fresh rain they are one of the most impressive. OPTIONAL EXTRA If you're walking in a group and looking for an epic full day walk, then it's possible to join these two walks up by leaving one car at the bottom and one up top. We suggest starting at the top, and exploring some of the history before following the Rubicon River Road down past the falls. BONUS TRAIL! At the foot of the valley, walk the Cicada Circuit linking The Boys Camping Area and the Lower Rubicon power station. It meanders close to the swollen Rubicon River at points and also climbs into the bush providing a great mix of scenery and wildlife. INFO & TRAIL NOTES - www.discoverdindi.com.au/rubicon-aqueducts STAY? You can make a weekend of it and stay at The Boys Camping Area in the Rubicon Valley or if you're looking for more creature comforts, stay in nearby Thornton, Eildon or Alexandra where a country meal by a hot fire awaits you. IMPORTANT! Mobile phone reception drops off the further up the valley you go. Always do your own research on any walk before heading out; walk prepared and let someone know before you go! HOW TO GET THERE From Melbourne, get yourself to Taggerty via the Maroondah Highway or on the Goulburn Valley Highway and Maroondah Highway via Alexandra. From Taggerty head towards Eildon before turning off at Rubicon Road. As you progress up the valley the road turns to an unsealed surface and is frequently used by log trucks. The lower part is generally in good condition however conditions can vary as you head into the upper part of the valley, so drive cauitiously and leave the Ferrari at home ENJOY!!

The Murrindindi Scenic Reserve Rive...r walk combines forests with river views and even a waterfall!

16.01.2022 This cute little one dropped in for a visit tonight.

15.01.2022 OH DEER... WHAT A PLACE From majestic wildlife to snow capped mountains, winding roads through the lush forests or waterfalls on dark. Marysville is p...retty darn impressive! An ideal destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike - explore lush forests, epic waterfalls and plenty of wildlife. Journey to see natural wonders like the 85-metre Big Tree, which has been towering above the forest for centuries, and Steavenson Falls, one of Victoria's highest waterfalls (which is also lit up at night!). Drop a line in pristine lakes and streams, or tee off at the 18-hole golf course. Take the family on a snow adventure and hit the slopes on toboggans at the nearby Lake Mountain Alpine Resort. Seasoned skiers can also enjoy exploring the 37 kilometres of cross-country trails. We could go on... and on ... and on! There’s just too many awesome things to list. Let’s just say Marysville has a bucket load of things to see, do and explore this Winter... well, let’s be honest - every season! Bucket list worthy? We think so!

14.01.2022 Rain Out: A meeting has been held at the track with committee and drivers to decide today's outcome. While weather is current ok at Alexandra there is some conc...ern about predicted rain bans on the radar for later tonight. Due to this the decision has been made to cancel today’s meeting and reschedule for next Saturday the 25th of August. Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing everyone next weekend See more

12.01.2022 Rain, hail or shine our Park Postie Colin keeps delivering the mail to our residents. Mostly rain at the moment and I know we need it, but looking forward to the warmer weather.

12.01.2022 How good is this! We asked for some help in the gardens around the park, never expecting the amount of hard work our residents would put in. Unfortunately I don't have before photos. So here's a big thank you to Pat Whitlaw, Maureen Rikihanna, Sandra Ewing and the big man Adam, for helping make our park look fantastic. Will keep you posted on how good they look in spring.

09.01.2022 Biggest ever trout opening on Goulburn! Come catch a trophy trout! From Saturday 1 September 2018, The Goulburn River and Eildon Pondage will share in 2,000 massive rainbow trout weighing up to 4kgs to be stocked at 11 sites for trout opening. They'll have a combined weight of 7 tonnes, which is the biggest ever 24-hour stocking event in Fisheries' history.... We still have powered sites available or just throw the swag in and camp in over 5 acres of unpowered camping. Some cabins are available for next weekend, so get in early.

02.01.2022 Eildon report Victorian Fisheries have been busy of late stocking various areas of the Goulburn River with 10,000 brown trout between 45 and 55gm, and with rec...ent environmental flows ruining the chances of brown trout naturally spawning in the Goulburn river this season the releases are greatly appreciated by anglers. Eildon pondage has also received a healthy boost with over 5,000 ready to catch or around the 190gm mark rainbow trout and 83 ex brood stock rainbows up to the 4 kilo mark. Over the last 12 months fisheries have produced and released well over 1 million trout into the Victorian waterways. Eildon pondage is still averaging water levels between 50 and 70% on most days and many of the smaller rainbow trout are being caught in the shallower areas. Some anglers dislike the smaller trout but they do have a tendency to stir up the larger ones that have been in the pondage longer, as well as the many new and young anglers have a great time just landing a trout. The bridge area and the rear of the Eildon pondage Caravan Park has been the hots spot recently with anglers doing well on power bait in the lime twist, salmon egg, chunky cheese, and the rainbow nuggets several rainbow trout around the 2.5lb mark have been caught. The local dough is always worth using especially with the new releases. The wonder krocs and pink Tassie devils are also working along Bourke st, the gate access, cemetery point and near the floating pontoon. If you happen to hit the pondage when it is on the fill, riverside drive is certainly an area that is well worth hitting with the small hard bodies and bladed Celta type lures as well. For the fly flickers nursery corner and cemetery point (when the water is a little on the low side) are still the best areas to target using the caddis, spider mudeye and woolley bugger patterns. Lake Eildon is still doing well for brown trout up to the 4lb mark the majority have been in very good nick, Tassie devils flat line trolled are still are still the way to go, the odd Murray cod up to 85cm has been taken on jointed shad rap type lures in gold. And small reddies are still being caught amongst the trees on scrubbies near Jerusalem creek I,m off for a couple of weeks but the shop will be open on the weekends catch you then Gazza
