The Outer Circle Trail, also known as the Anniversary Trail, is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians, which partly follows the Alamein Line through the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The trail follows the right-of-way of the old steam era Outer Circle Line. It runs from the Yarra River Trail near the Eastern Freeway at Fairfield to Hughesdale Station in the south. The Outer Circle train line opened in 1891. Parts of the trail were opened 100 years later in 1991, hence the name, "Anniversary".
It is frequently used by local residents and recreational cyclists, because of its proximity to other paths, many suburbs, and connecting transport. The path was upgraded in December of 2006 and is now fully sealed and divided. The trail, in some sections, follows the direct line of the old railway; in others, it weaves through parks and follows the side of the Alamein Line. It then continues beyond Alamein Station, passing underneath the still-standing overhead wiring pylons, and then heading towards the Gardiners Creek Trail in Malvern East through to Hughesdale Train Station in the south.
Route
Leaving the Yarra River Trail, the Chandler Highway leads 0.6 km (0.37 mi) south to the Anniversary Outer Circle Trail, just across the bridge that crosses the Eastern Freeway. A safer alternative continues along the Yarra River Trail from the Chandler Highway to Willsmere Park - 1.5 km (0.93 mi). Trail users can cross under the Eastern Freeway at Willsmere Park and traverse to the Anniversary Outer Circle Trail via Hyde Park.
Coming from the north, the trail arrives at the junction of Harp Road, High Street and Valerie Street. Located in that junction is a tram stop and some vegetated median strips. Those on the trail must keep a direct line, making their way through and re-finding the path on either side of High Street.
340 m (1,120 ft) past the Canterbury Road underpass, there is a Scout hall on the right (south-east). Users should continue straight down the hill, rather than taking the path to the right at this point, which leads to East Camberwell Station.
The path swings to the right (south) at Myrtle Road and continues under the railway bridge. The path parallels the south-west side of Myrtle Road. A short detour at this point, (900 m (3,000 ft)) to the east along Warburton Road, leads to the Maling Road coffee strip.
At Prospect Hill Road, 500 m (1,600 ft) south of the train line underpass, the path appears to terminate again. Cross Prospect Hill Road and turn right. Then continuing along 30 m (98 ft), take a left into Spencer Road. Ride along Spencer Road until Riversdale Park is seen on the left (east). Users can ride across the park to the pedestrian crossing on the far side of the park at Riversdale Road.
Users can cross Riversdale Road and proceed left (east) towards Fordham Avenue, then turn right down Fordham Avenue (south). They can follow the designated path and turn right just before the scout hall. From here, the path is clear cut until East Malvern train station.
Between Burwood and Ashburton stations, users pass by a small park with a playground (Summerhill Park). The Ferndale Park Trail starts here and acts as an alternative route to the Gardiners Creek Trail.
At the very southern end of the trail users can access the Gardiners Creek Trail. Access is provided via the small footbridge at the south end of Solway Street. Due to flood damage the bridge was closed from April 2006 to June 2007. After being open for 3.5 years the bridge was washed away by flood waters very early in the morning of 5 February 2011, after heavy rain resulting from the remnants of Tropical Cyclone Yasi, rendering the bridge impassable. It was then rebuilt and opened in late 2011. The trail appears to terminate here and can be hard to follow onwards.
Users can take the Gardiners Creek Trail across the bridge and turn left onto the Scotchmans Creek Trail. This path continues through the Malvern Valley Public Golf Course, then up and over the footbridge that crosses the Monash Freeway and on past East Malvern Station. Chadstone Shopping Centre and Holmesglen Institute of TAFE are nearby.
Users can head through the station car park to Waverley Road and cross at the traffic lights into the urban forest. This section of the railway has been turned into a nature reserve with two artificial ponds and revegetation of the Gardiners Creek valley. It can be easy to get lost here as there are many unpaved paths that go off the main footpath.
In the middle of the urban forest section, users will reach Princess Highway, turn right and head 160 m (520 ft) up the service road and cross at the lights. Users can turn left and near the bottom of the hill will rejoin with the path.
The path continues further south through parkland passing Boyd Park and Neerim Road for a few hundred meters where it ends at William Street, connecting onto the newly built Djerring trail at Hughesdale Station.
Facilities
The path is fully sealed, either bitumen or concrete, and busy road crossings are serviced by pedestrian traffic lights. At various locations along the path, there are barbecues (at the park adjacent to Whitehorse Road crossing and Frog Hollow Reserve). There are also frequent water fountains along the path. Many parks are dotted along the path, such as ovals, playgrounds, tennis courts and cricket pitches.
