Traralgon Railway Reservoir

WORDS & PHOTOS BY DOUG PELL

Conservation Reserve

There are various gems in Gippsland when it comes to some of our parks and bush walks and this one certainly is a gem. This park has a great history as well, and is sign posted with information of that history, highly recommend this walk at any time of the year.

The reserve comprises 29.5 hectares of varied bush and grassland with two wetland areas linked by a canyon. This walk is also accessible for wheel chairs and the area offers viewing platforms for the abundant bird life in the park.

The Victorian Railways saw the opportunity to build a reservoir in the park to supply water for the steam train engines and this was finished in 1880.

The Railways used a 10 inch cast iron pipe to convey the water by gravity to large elevated tanks on the south side of the railway line.
