MORE INFO ABOUT WARBURTON

Many people may not remember that Warburton was once a favoured day trip via train from Melbourne in the 1930s. On most Sundays, three trains would leave back to Melbourne within the space of an hour. Late night balls, weekend university ski clubs and Mount Donna Buang provided the back drop for many parties and family weekends away. People also came to walk to the 300 year old Ada Tree.

With the rise of the motor car and the provision of new roads to Warburton, the trains stopped coming as patronage fell until it was no longer viable to bring the trains anymore.

It is however on the same ground that the trains once travelled that is now found the popular 'Warburton Trail' which runs for around 32km from Melbourne's East, starting in Lilydale.

It is indeed this trail that is largely responsible for bringing tourists back to Warburton. It is not uncommon to see hundreds of bikes and their riders enjoying a coffee in Warburton or and an ice cream by the river. Warburton is a great place from which to visit Healesville and The Warburton Highway.
