The Great Dividing Trail concept, as originally envisaged in 1992, involved three Stages, all of which are now complete. The Great Dividing Trail Association recently completed the Lerderderg Track between Daylesford and Bacchus Marsh.
The Great Dividing Trail Association received strong support from the Shire of Moorabool, Parks Victoria, Friends of the Lerderderg and the Victorian State Goverment for the completion of this second half of the Lerderderg Track to Bacchus Marsh.
The new full colour Lerderderg Track map is now available directly from GDTA ($7.50 posted) or from local tourist information centers.
Richard Piesse was the Great Dividing Trail Project Leader for this Lerderderg Track extension.
NOTE 1: In late July 2010 a section of the track between Blackwood Springs Reserve and North Blackwood road is very slippery. We strongly advise not walking this section of track and using Golden Point Road.
NOTE 2: The Track Distance Table only covers the section from Daylesford to Blackwood. It is: 8.8 km from Blackwood to O'Briens Rd, 11 km from O'Briens Rd to Mt Blackwood, 12.6 km from Mt Blackwood to Swan's Rd entry station and 9.0 km from Swans Rd entry station to Bacchus Marsh Railway Station.
