Sign 8: The Rec Reserve Hall

Throughout the township of Bonnie Doon, there are a total of 12 sightseeing locations with signboards. Each signboard will tell you some of the history of Bonnie Doon, and also have a QR code to direct you to these pages on our website. These codes when scanned with a smart phone or tablet provide additional informative text/images that create an interactive walk throughout the history of the Doon. You can follow along the history here on our website or better yet, get out on the trail and take a wander through Bonnie Doon – follow the signs that go along with along with these pages. We hope you enjoy your walk back in time.

The Bonnie Doon Recreation Reserve

Still home to the Bonnie Doon Football and Netball Club – this early photo is a reminder of how sporting and teamwork are long part of regional communities’ histories. They in part help build camaraderie, resilience and many memories that are important to the development of community cohesion.

This walk crosses the traditional lands of the Taungurung people, and the Bonnie Doon Community acknowledges them as the traditional owners of the land. We also pay our respects to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
