Favourite country of Heidelberg School of painters, a very pleasant Saturday walk from Lower Templestowe, through parklands trail following the Yarra River up-stream, before joining the Diamond Creek parklands trail up to Eltham shops/station.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: A Moderate 12 km walk between Lower Templestowe and Eltham with a few inclines from time to time.

MAP REFERENCE: Melway map X33 grid C4 | Google map goo.gl/maps/64X3eBAxq6xtWPnu6.
DISTANCE | TIME FROM GPO: 35 km, approximately 1/2 hour from CBD driving to Templestowe. As we are using a Hurstbridge/City train to get home later, it may pay to take the bus option from the city out to Templestowe.
