Pakenham - Cardinia Aqueduct Trail
This is a popular walk which follows the old Aqueduct. The Bunyip Main Race, as it was then known, was built in 1914 to transport water from Tarago to Beaconsfield Reservoir.
This relatively flat track is horse friendly. Keep a look out for Peregrine falcons, brown tree creepers, honeyeaters, Blue Wrens and scrub wrens which can be seen in the Peppermint and Messmate Eucalypt forest. The complete walk is 11.6km but you can walk as far as you like and return back to the start.
There is a carpark on the east end of the trail at 264 Thewlis Road and a carpark on the west end near the intersection of Officer Road and Carpenter Road. Car parking can be tight, particularly in the morning and late afternoon.
Access for Dogs:
Dogs are permitted on lead.
