Macedon Walking Trail Redirection
The Macedon Walking Trail is being redirected through Macedon Regional Park while the Mount Macedon Memorial Cross Reserve is closed for works.
The redirection occurs on the Goat Track midway between Bawden Road and the Cross Reserve, with visitors invited onto Hoods Track. This will take visitors to Clyde and then Francis Tracks. Francis Track pops out at the Harbisons Picnic Area where visitors can rejoin the Macedon Walking Trail near the tearooms and continue on their journey. The redirection works in reverse to support both directions of uses and is signed.
The works will occur from late June to September. The Mount Macedon Memorial Cross Reserve Committee of Management and Parks Victoria apologise for any inconvenience.
