GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 2: Easy approximately 6 km walk to lunch, or Grade 3: Moderate 13.5 km, point-to-point walk on mostly flat paths, with some gentle climbs for those continuing after lunch.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Starting from Footscray Station, we'll head to the Maribyrnong River via Newells Paddock Wetlands. From there we walk upstream beside the river past Flemington Racecourse, through assorted parks and wetlands for lunch at the Anglers Tavern, 2 Anglers Way, Maribyrnong. After lunch you can catch a tram nearby on Maribyrnong Rd, or continue with the group to Lily Reserve, for some great views of Melbourne's skyline. After that we follow Steele Creek and the Maribyrnong River around to Canning Reserve. From nearby you can catch the #57 tram to the CBD or walk a tad further to catch the #82 tram to take you back to Footscray Station or towards Moonee Ponds.
