[edit] Description
The Hendersons Road Drain Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which follows Hendersons Road Drain in the outer northern suburbs of Mill Park, Epping and South Morang in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.[1]
The first kilometre of the southern end of the trail follows a concrete lined open drain, but the northern sections are parkland, complete with the accompanying wildlife including black swans.
[edit] Following the Path
Coming from the south, on the Darebin Creek Trail, the path arrives at Childs Rd. To continue along the Darebin Creek Trail, cross the road to the north and the road bridge to the west. Stay on the east side of the creek to commence the Hendersons Road Drain Trail and head north.
1km further on is Hendersons Rd. If coming from Epping station, this is the most logical point to join the trail. The trail continues for another 3.5km, swapping from side to side of the creek, until it arrives outside the local municipal offices of the City of Whittlesea.
Heading north past the wetlands that form part of the Mill Park Lakes development, a small shopping area comes into view. Another 2.5 km along, is the very edge of Melbourne surburbia and open countryside.
