The Maroondah Aqueduct is a historic water channel built in the late 19th century to transport water from the Maroondah Reservoir to Melbourne. The long open channel winds quietly through bushland and suburban reserves, tracing a gentle line across the landscape. Although no longer used for Melbourne’s water supply, today it's a reminder of Melbourne’s early water engineering and creates a unique corridor where history and nature meet.
