Enjoy a pleasant Sunday walk in the scenic environs of Mount Evelyn and Silvan Reservoir. Limit of 10 participants. GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: A moderate 11 km point-to-point walk with a few short steep sections. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Our walk commences on Tramway Track in Mount Evelyn which connects to Olinda Creek Track and Pipeline Track to provide a route through to Silvan Reservoir. While there is little evidence of its past uses, the route has served several purposes. Originally a tramway used for the collection of firewood to fuel lime kilns ran along the route. During the construction of the Silvan Reservoir an overhead cableway used the same corridor as it ran from the station at Mount Evelyn to the dam wall to convey building materials. Tracks along the route now provide service access to the pipeline which replaced the Mount Evelyn Aqueduct. For our purpose it provides a very pleasant walking track through a break in the eucalypt forest. Having made our way through to Silvan Reservoir Park we'll find a picnic table and enjoy our lunch break in the pleasant surrounds of the park. After lunch we'll stroll to the top of the dam wall for a view across the reservoir before leaving the park. We'll then follow bush tracks and cross over Olinda Creek to reach the last remaining section of the defunct Mount Evelyn Aqueduct. We'll follow the aqueduct track for around 2 km before meeting Monbulk Road which marks the end of our day's walk. Our return journey commences with a bus journey through to Lilydale to catch a train back to Ringwood or through to the city.
