This secluded spot offers beautiful views over Tullaroop Reservoir, and from the southern side of the island you can see the gorgeous Bucknall Church standing among the trees across the water.
This island is a great, quiet spot for fishing, birdwatching or bushwalking. Swimming and camping are not permitted at Tullaroop Reservoir.
History of Rodborough School Island
According to the Goulburn-Murray Water
website: "Tullaroop Reservoir was built between 1958 and 1959. The construction involved substantial excavation, including the removal of 300,000 cubic yards of material from the bed of Tullaroop Creek".
The site of the Rodborough school escaped excavation and was preserved on this island.
How to get to Rodborough School Island
The island is accessible by 4wd vehicles (and 2wd in dry conditions) when the water is low. When the reservoir is particularly full the access road can often be underwater.
The road in is fairly uneven and one spot is likely to be quite muddy. A four wheel drive vehicle is recommended, but a two wheel drive vehicle may make it through in dry conditions.
If the reservoir is full and the road across to the island is underwater, do not attempt to drive through.
