Kerrie /ˈkɛri/ is a small town in the Macedon Ranges region of Victoria, Australia, featuring a town hall (1934) and the closed Kerrie State School (c. 1877).[1] The school was closed in 1991, but remains an important venue for community meetings and events. The buildings and grounds are heritage listed[2] and underwent external restoration during 2009-2010. Near the hall are the former tennis courts, now overgrown and in a state of disrepair.
The Kerrie Valley is the source of domestic water for the nearby town of Romsey. The catchment reservoir consists of a dam on a tributary of the Bolinda Creek.
Kerrie Post Office opened on 10 July 1891 and closed in 1949.[3]
