>From your description, what you have described would be the Yan Tean Pipe 
Track which continues SSW to join St Georges Road. As the name suggests, this 
contains the pipes from Yan yean Reservoir from the reservoirs near Reservoir 
(hence the name) towards Melbourne. Where the pipes go when they get to the 
Merri Creek I do not know.
There is a second pipe reserve running west from the aforementioned reservoirs 
towards Coburg, but I have no information as to where they go.
