O'Shannassy Aqueduct Trail - Yuonga Rd to Donna Buang Rd - 2 km
 
This Section of the Trail starts at the Younga Rd carpark/picnic area. It crosses the Rocky Creek, then reaches the Donna Buang Rd. At this point, the open channel has disappeared underground.
 
It is necessary to walk along the Donna Buang Rd shoulder for a short distance, and pick up the trail on the opposite side. Care is needed as there is no footpath.
