Spadoni's Nature Reserve is in the semi-rural district of Yering, 35 km east of the Melbourne CBD. Next to the Yarra River, it features two main walking tracks, a billabong, wetlands, footbridges, and views to the Christmas Hills.

It is managed by the Yarra Ranges Shire, and is at the end of Victoria Rd, which starts at Maroondah Highway, Lilydale.

Adjacent to it is the flying area for radio controlled model aircraft. the Lilydale regional airport, and the Melbourne Gun Club.

I explored the 3 km of walking tracks with a colleague and his two hounds, on December 2, 2008, along with several billion flies!

The pictures show the scenery and environment in this interesting Reserve.

The panoramas of the Yarra Ranges were taken from Victoria Rd, near the entrance to the Croydon Golf Club, currently under construction.
