Liverpool Rd Water Retarding Basin - Kilsyth South

A visit on February 4, 2020. The Reserve  is reached from the small car park on Liverpool Rd, opposite Dobson's Lane. Care is needed in exiting the car park, as vision to the west is blocked by foliage from trees overhanging the entrance.

Note that the Reserve is leash-free for hounds!

Spring has arrived and with it a glorious sunny day of 25 degs! Photos of September 3, 2019 - one of my favourite locations! 
 
The Basin’s main function is to reduce the risk of  floods downstream within the Dandenong Creek, and was basically built for drainage purposes. But that description belies the beauty of the reserve—in addition to its important role within the management of Dandenong Creek.
