Kerrie /ˈkɛri/ is a locality 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 was an important venue for community meetings and events until it was damaged by fire on the 16th October 2021.[2] The buildings and grounds are heritage listed[3] and underwent external restoration during 2009–2010. Nearby is the Hall, and the former tennis courts, which are 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.[4]
