DESCRIPTION: The Bryden Rd Hub is a new shelter structure built by a grant by Goldfields Track inc, one of 2 hubs built with a $1.9 Million dollar grant, The walk will be at least partially along the coliban main channel which was built in the late 1800’s to supply water to Bendigo, we will walk to the energy dissipator structure that was built to absorb the energy of the water coming too fast down a steep slope, spectacular if there is water in the channel. The steep climb is to walk around the tunnel that was built through a granite hill they couldn’t build a channel around, not too difficult but steep none-the less
