Dee River via Rail Trail and O’Shannassy Aqueduct is full of beautiful scenery and is a terrific way to explore Warburton and the surrounding region. The Wurundjeri People are the original custodians of this land.

Most of the trail sits inside the Yarra Ranges National Park and starts from Warburton Waterwheel Visitor Information Centre where there is ample parking available. The path travels beside both Yarra and Dee Rivers and follows O’Shannassy Aqueduct Trail. There is some on-road walking. The surrounding flora adds to the magical backdrop of this trail as does the birdlife. The path winds through lush ferns and tall forests brimming with crimson rosellas, kookaburras and many other species.
