O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail — Attraction in Melbourne

Great place to walk. Parking is free, trail is flat, views are nice. People who enjoy travelling on slightly curved paths and looking at regular nature while elevated will go absolutely buckwild for this trail.

Downsides: Millgrove Bridge is yet to be repaired, and as such accessibility is hindered for Bikes, people with movement disabilities, and the elderly, and impossible for wheelchair users. Snake season is currently in, and if you're early on a warm/hot day, you are most likely to see one of the little danger ropes. Beautiful things, but don't walk on your phone or you might trip over one. Grass is a little long at the moment, so those with allergies or exposed ankles will go back sneezing or itchy

Overall great walk, and would highly recommend any of the sections...

The path from Yuonga road to East Warburton seemed to have a lot of debris over the track so we chose the open gravel path as a...

Daughter and dad out for a walk. We started out at Parrot Road and did a 15km round trip. Interesting hill climb at the start, but certainly got us both warm. I like how the track follows the contour of the aqueduct, meaning you are never far from shade. Fair to say that much more shade than sun - good for me when I'm walking. The tall trees are a delight to walk between and the amount of bird life means you are always immersed in the sounds of nature. The track is really well maintained. Will look for a different starting point next time so we can see more of the track. Turns out I'm not as fit as I thought I was! Thanks to Parks Vic staff for...
