ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
After meeting at Federation Square, we head off along the Birrarung Mar walk, formally Batman Avenue before the developement of Federation Square. This shortly becomes the Main Yarra Trail and we will walk along the north bank of the Yarra River. There is also a Main Yarra Trail on the south bank that goes from St Kilda Rd to Burnley where it crosses the river to join the north bank trail, these are shared paths with the many cyclists that use them. The first half of the walk mostly follows Citylink out to Burnley which is above the walking trail. Our lunch break will be at McConchie Reserve, with Herring Island across the river. After lunch we continue walking along, joing Yarra Blvd for 3km then a further 2.4km on the walkng trail. After-walk refreshments can be had at the Terminus Hotel or the Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre. (An optional 1.4km walk to Collingwood Station can be done if we are early).
