Located at the foothills of Kinglake and adjacent to Kinglake National Park, Strathewen is a small town 45 km north-east of Melbourne.

Although there is no township in Strathewen, there is a Bushfire Memorial at the Strathewen Reserve that acknowledges the individuals who lost their lives in the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009. It also tells the story of camaraderie and strength in rebuilding the community after the fires.The memorial takes visitors on the challenging journey of life before, during and after the fire and is a special and sacred place to visit fo the community. 

Also at the Strathewen Reserve, is an oval, pavilion, tennis courts, basketball and netball ring and small playground as well as access to a lovely spot for the kids to play by the creek.
