Exploring the Yarra River - East Warburton

These pictures were taken on May 4, 2011.

They show the scenery and environment on a 2 km hike adjacent to the Yarra River, East Warburton, 80 km east of Melbourne, opposite the Big Pat's Creek Rd turnoff.

In 1910, a steam timber tramway commenced operating between Warburton and Big Pat's Creek, and a large Seasoning Works existed at the corner of Big Pat's Creek Rd and the Wood's Point Rd.

The tramway remained in use until 1973 - trackwork arond the site remained in place until 1980 when the rails were recovered and sold for scrap.

Now, the site is private property, used for grazing.
