Length: 6.3 \u00c2\u00a0km<\/p>\n

Grade: Easy<\/p>\n

Climb: 210m<\/p>\n

This walk is a pretty circuit from Henderson’s Picnic Ground in the Maroondah Reservoir Park to Donnelly’s Weir. The walk starts by climbing up the Rose Stairway and along the dam wall before following an open aqueduct towards Donnelly’s Weir. On the way the track passes by a lookout over the Reservoir. The track then heads back along the aqueduct and diverts off towards Henderson’s Hill. At this point the track climbs steeply up to the top of Henderson’s hill, before an equally steep descent leads back down towards Henderson’s Picnic Ground.<\/p>\n
