O'Shannassy aqueduct trail eastern section and Redwood forest. A beautiful walk along the O'Shannassy trail. Starting at the Redwood forest, it is a chance to walk in amongst the tall timbers which were managed for Melbourne's water supply.Walking east we go to see the weir. The aqueduct and surrounds were decommissioned in 1997. Now part of the Yarra ranges NP, the walk is in amongst tall ferns, magnificent trees and there is abundant bird life. Mountain ash trees look very ghost like in mountain mists - but have their own beauty. |

1000 Steps. We will meet at the bottom of the 1000 steps carpark at 8.30am so we can get a carpark. The 1000 steps are very popular so getting a carpark won't be easy. The walk will be challenging in many ways. The walk is not long but challenging very much up and down. If you are mountain climber, then this walk will be okay for you so come if you are up to the challenge. We will be going around anti clockwise the track is wide and gravely. |
