Here you will find information about the walking tracks in Bacchus Marsh. We hope you find the information useful and interesting.
If you're a regular walker on these tracks, or if you're just interested in walking generally, you are more than welcome to post your observations and thoughts on this website. You will have to register first (it's free!).
The Ellerslie Circuit is typified by quiet streets, greenways and river views. The Circuit takes its name from the Ellersie Homestead around which it passes.
Start off at the Grant Street bridge in Bacchus Marsh. Head east along the south bank of the Werribee River. The path provides pleasant river views as you walk between houses and the river.
After being unofficially open for 6 months the pedestrian bridge in Bond Street was officially opened by Don Nardella M.P. on Monday 19 April at 2:30pm.
The pathway between the end of Pilmer Street and the Ellersie Greenways has been re-opened yet again. It had been blocked (for anyone not built like a stick) by fencing at the end of the pathway.
Now, two spans of the chain mesh fencing have been rolled back and the top fence bar removed. You can now walk across the block from the Pilmer Street end to the track on the green way that connects with Simpson Street.
Moorabool Shire Council (MSC) has completed a new footpath on Fisken Street, from Simpson Street south to the Werribee River. And they have repaired the existing footpath from Simspon St north to Main St.
We say: Well Done!
