Bonnie Doon is a small lakeside town in Victoria's High Country, situated 168 kilometres north-east of Melbourne on the Maroondah Highway. With a population of approximately 666, this peaceful township sits on the edge of Lake Eildon and serves as the gateway to the alpine region. The town was relocated to higher ground in the 1950s when the lake's expansion flooded the original settlement.

Known for its tranquil atmosphere – famously captured in the Australian film "The Castle" – Bonnie Doon is a popular destination for water sports, fishing, bushwalking, and cycling along the Great Victorian Rail Trail.
