Scotch College

A delightful stroll through history

One of the Old Scotch Bushwalking Club’s recent midweek walks gave 10 of us the opportunity for a very interesting walk through one of Melbourne’s most historic parks – Pipemakers Park in the Maribyrnong Valley.

Pipemakers Park is the site of the ‘Living Museum of the West’, the only ecomuseum in Australia, which occupies the site of several successive industrial enterprises significant to Victoria’s development since the 1840s. It was an interesting walk in warm, sunny autumn weather in wintertime.

The Club schedules one midweek walk per month, as well as monthly weekend walks. If you’re interested in participating, please contact Geoff Stephens, the midweek walks organiser, on 9882 7909 or stephens2@iprimus.com.au
