Maindample

Maindample is a village and rural district on the Maroondah Highway where it passes to the north of Lake Eildon. It is about 120 km north-east of Melbourne. Maindample is set in lightly timbered, undulating country. To its south-east there is hillier country containing The Paps scenic reserve, consisting of two conical hills. These hills apparently also inspired an Aboriginal name roughly translated as Maindample and thought to mean woman's breasts.
