Carved into the mountainside above the Upper Yarra Valley at Warburton is the O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail. The trail follows an historic, now-disused open water race, built between 1911 and 1914 to channel fresh water from a weir on the O’Shannassy River to Silvan Dam. The water was for the people that lived in east Melbourne.
Dad, Paul and I set off along the O’Shannassy Trail. We were unsure how good the track would be. It might be a great ride or it might end up a long walk back to town!
It was a great ride along a dirt track and then a steep drop down back into the town. Dad and Paul thought it was so good they got up early the next morning to ride another section of it.
