Spring Gully Reservoir

Located just 5 km south of Bendigo, Spring Gully Reservoir is a hidden gem that will delight nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

One of the things that makes Spring Gully Reservoir unique is its location. The reservoir abuts the town of Spring Gully, a picturesque community that gives visitors a lovely view of its water supply. It was created as a minor catchment area to supply water to Bendigo for both domestic and mining purposes. Now, it has become one of the main water supply sources of the Coliban Water Network.

Spring Gully reservoir is a great spot for fishing, and it has become a favourite destination for anglers. They come in large numbers to catch redfin, golden perch or the occasional trout. The bushland reserve surrounding the reservoir is also a great place to hike. Visitors can take a walk through grassy woodlands to a seasonal waterfall that plunges from a height of 18 meters after rain. This makes a perfect backdrop for a picnic or a weekend getaway.

The best time to visit Spring Gully Reservoir is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and dry. The water temperature is also warm, and this is a perfect time to take a dip or go fishing. Visitors can drive or take public transportation to get to Spring Gully Reservoir. Bendigo has public transport links to Melbourne, Ballarat, Shepparton and Swan Hill. From Bendigo, visitors can take a bus or train to the town and then drive or take a taxi to the reservoir.
