LAST UPDATEDMoora Moora Reservoir is a small reservoir in the heart of the Grampians National Park. Located in the the upper reaches of the Glenelg River catchment, Moora Moora is an important resource for Supply System 6 of the Wimmera Mallee Pipeline.
The catchment covers an area of about 40 km2 and acts as a sub-catchment for the Rocklands Reservoir catchment. Moora Moora can also receive water directly from the upper Glenelg River via transfers along the Moora Inlet Channel.
Recreationally, Moora Moora is especially popular for bush camping, fishing and boating.
