With the easing of lockdown restrictionshis this event will now go ahead on Monday, 2nd November. This is the day before Melbourne Cup, which many take as a holiday.
This is an easy walk along one of Melbourne’s outer suburban trails. Limit of 10 people.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy 11 km point-to-point walk. Although it is about 11 km long, it is on a level to downhill path.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
The Darebin Creek Trail is a shared use path for cyclists and pedestrians which follows Darebin Creek in the north-eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Although it starts in Bundoora, we will join the trail a few kilometres south of that. The trail passes through a number of parks and reserves, joined by narrower sections alongside the creek. Towards the end of the walk we will cross the new-ish bridge across the Yarra River into East Kew, joining the Main Yarra Trail towards the city. Lunch will be taken at Darebin Parklands. Toilets and water bubblers are accessible in this location. Apart from right at the starting point, there are no cafes or lunch providors on the route. At the conclusion of the walk, transport it home by #200/207 bus.
