A good place to learn the history of the Aqueduct.

Thanks for this mate, incredibly modern for the time. Ex-melbourneite 22 years ago, (Glen Huntly) Enjoyed those videos too, thanks again.

Very interesting Dave! Thanks!

the original aqueduct ran across the back of my place, the bit from Gaudion Basin to Olinda Tank. No sign of it now. The legacy is that I have a private main from the "new" aqueduct (Gaudion to Silvan Res.) via a 38mm pipe.

Looking to ride the trail and I see still on the Parks' website "Dee Rd Trestle Bridge Closed". I'm sure they'll eventually find a few million dollars to build a fancy new steel raised walkway that will completely bypass this section of track.

Very interesting! We go riding up there every couple of years & the bridge being out would be a real pain. I wonder if they’ve fixed it? Sounds like it was still closed in March this year.

It wasn't fixed when I rode the trail 2 weeks ago...looked exactly the same as this video
