O'Shannassy's Aqueduct trail - Day Hike 14km - Easy/Moderate

*** IMPORTANT: Once you RSVP or are on the waitlist, please message me for further contact and carpool details ****

This is a beautiful, calming walk along the fire trail for O'Shannassy's Aquaduct, a stunning, forested and shady track.

Commenced in 1911, the aqueduct provided water for the growing Melbourne, until several major failures closed it down. It is now part of the Yarra Ranges National Park.

The trail takes you on a meandering journey through the stunning forest, with enticing glimpses of the Upper Yarra Valley.

There will be plenty of spots to take photos along the track.
