Survey Point Durdidwarrah Dam, Brisbane Ranges Vic
Latitude -37.8280600 (37° 49′ 41″ S)
Longitude 144.2055600 (144° 12′ 20″ E)

On the Geelong-Ballan Rd on the corner with Durdidwarrah Rd this is part of the Upper Stoney Creek Reservoir, and always has water in it. The best access is up the Durdidwarrah Rd to where you can get access to the dam through a broken fence. There is also a wetland on the other side of the track that is more difficult to access. There is good woodland beside the road.

Camping is not advised here.
