Enjoy an outing on Port Phillip Bay, lunch in Portarlington and an easy coastal walk, subsequently returning to Melbourne by bus and train.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy: ferry ride, lunch, walk along a coastal path, bus and train ride. 

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Enjoy a relaxing 1.5 hour cruise to Portarlington, then a short stroll to the Grand Hotel for lunch. After lunch, we will go for a walk along the foreshore before catching the bus to Geelong Station, from where we'll catch a train back to Southern Cross Station (Melbourne).

We'll walk along the foreshore towards St Leonards. Bus #60 departs from St Leonards at 2:58pm, and passes along the foreshore, so we'll terminate the walk at an appropriate bus stop in time to catch that bus.
