Xuan and I headed up to the Yan Yean Reservoir Park in Melbourne’s north today to do a little sight seeing. As we expected the water levels in the reservoir were very low and the ponds around the park had nearly all dried up due to the drought. We walked around a little and then decided to head to the Sugarloaf Reservoir in the Christmas Hills hoping to see more there.

When we got to Sugarloaf the views were spectacular even though the water levels were extremely low (19.8 percent full according to Melbourne Water at time of writing). It was sad to see reservoir so empty but the massive emptiness did make for some amazing views as you can see from the pictures below. The last 3 photos were taken by Xuan.
