Outer Circle Railway Anniversary Trail |
The Outer Circle Railway Anniversary Trail has been a joint initiative of the City of Boroondara and Parks Victoria.
Twelve signs displaying historic photographic images and associated text have been developed to help path users to understand the historical features of the park and how these relate to Melbourne's railway heritage.
A working group consisting of local residents, members of local historical societies, railway experts and Council officers was established for the project.
The working group made decisions regarding the location of signs, the content of the captions and the most appropriate photographs for the signs.
The Public Transport Corporation, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Citipower and Yarra Valley Water have been consulted and the Department of Infrastructure assisted by providing photos.
Local historical societies and the Australian Railway Historical Society have assisted by providing historical information.
