East Walk Circuit
Starting from O'Brien's crossing at the end of O'Brien's Road in Moorabool, this circuit walk follows Lerderderg River along the East Walk track. Once on Cowan Track the walk starts to climb pretty steeply toward the top of Upsall Hill to get your blood pumping, but the views from the top are well worth the climb. Hiking shoes are recommended. The track is subject to flood damage. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
