Cairn Curran Reservoir

Cairn Curran Reservoir covers an area of almost 20 km² and has an average depth of 20 metres. It is located on the Loddon River 10 km west of Maldon and 50 km South West of Bendigo Victoria. The reservoir is used to supply to irrigated properties along the Loddon River and was constructed between 1947 and 1956.


Fishing at Cairn Curran is mixed as it has stocking of brown trout and native fish including Murray cod and golden perch. Reports are most anglers target Brown Trout (winter time) and Redfin (summer time). Murray Cod is a rare catch and this fishery does not seem to suit them. Carp are present in large numbers so lure fishing is popular as this method catches most species present but not Carp who prefer bait, notably worms.

Helen At The Beach

We went for a road trip down to the coast. We went to the dog beach at Ocean Grove and she had a big 4Km walk and a visit to some friends. A great day but Helen was very tired by the end of the day. Great weather and a pleasant drive with a couple of toilet break stops.

Helen The Sailor

Helen went on her first test run riding on the Kayak at Lake Eppalock near Bendigo. After a swim and a walk around the lake she was all good for the inaugural voyage. After a nervous start she settled down and seemed to enjoy the ride. We stayed close to shore in 3 metres and less for about 20 minutes and I then decided it was enough for the first trip.
