GONG GONG RESERVOIR PARK

Public BBQ

A beautiful bush picnic ground on the Yarowee Creek below the Gong Gong reservoir, with barbecues, tables, toilets and plenty of shady spots among the wattles and gums. Well-defined walking tracks run through, and the walk in from Peel Street in Ballarat makes an excellent 18-kilometre round trip. Fishing is good, with brown trout and redfin taken from the water. Birds are constant and wallabies come through, as do snakes in the warmer months. There are no bins, so carry your rubbish home. Parking is plentiful off the main road. One of the barbecues is wood-fired and needs fuel brought in. The paths are not easy going for anyone using a walking frame.
