Jacksons Creek Sunbury. Public Transport Walk. A 15 km walk following Jacksons Creek from near the Rupertswood Mansion to parkland near Jacksons Hill, the site of the former Industrial School and Mental Hospital. Sunbury was settled early in the life of the colony as settlers pushed west and was also on the way to the goldfields in the 1850s, so for a time it was an important stopping point and staging post.
Meet at Southern Cross Station at 8.55am to catch the 9.05am Vline train to Sunbury on the Bendigo line (Myki accepted). |
