In the mood for a walk in the bush, but too busy at this time of semester?

Look no further than this walk along the Yarra River, 20 minutes from uni! You'll forget you are in Melbourne and see some wildlife. 

8:30am: meet on the corner of Lygon St / Elgin St (two minutes walk from uni).

8:41am: catch bus

8:55am: get off bus at Yarra Bend Park and start walk along river (approx. 5.5km, 1.5hr)

10:25am (approx.): arrive at Fairfield Boat house for snack / coffee

10:55am (approx.): walk to Denis Station (1.2km, 20 minutes)

From Denis Station we can get the train back to the city.

The walk is around 7km in total. See map here: https://maps.app.goo.gl/z2778B4KeQYK9jic9

This is a beginner hike, though participants should be aware that the paths can be quite narrow, windy and hilly at points. If you have any doubts about your ability to do this hike, please speak with me at the meeting.

Attendance at the trip meeting (Tuesday 3 Oct 7pm) is a requirement of coming on this walk.

Hope to see you there!
