Anyone done this recently and able to advise on the water situation?
In particular:
Is there water in the Coliban Main Channel?
Is there water in/near the Sandhurst Reservoir?
Is it drinkable?
Obviously I’ll treat anything I find.
Thanks!

So it’s pretty clean but it’s treated when it gets to bendigo, so obviously untreated while it’s flowing in the open channel, and there’s dead Roos in there sometimes etc, so needs treating to be sure it doesn’t give you a gut full. It also does not flow all year around, they take a break in the winter, I think the rural season extends to about May and restarts around October but I’m not quite sure of the dates and can’t find them unfortunately. I’m not aware of any tanks or other easy drinking water spots. I live near the intersection of north harcourt Rd and the track, so send me a message if you need to fill up bottles you’re welcome
