About this event

Enjoy a relaxing stroll beside the picturesque Darebin Creek. Travel via public transport is possible.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Moderate, approximately 12 km, point-to-point walk on mainly flat paths with public transport connections. 

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Catch a Hurstbridge line train from Flinders St, meeting at 10:30am at leafy Alphington Station (I'll be there to greet and quick takeaway coffee option across the road), for a 10:45(ish) am start to ramble, walking a circuit around greater Alphington Park, before following the Darebin Trail upstream, avoiding cycleways as much as possible, stopping (around midday) for lunch in Northland Mall's food court inside with plenty of food options to choose.  I'll grab as many adjacent free tables as required to enable us to remain/eat together. After lunch we return to the Darebin Creek track upstream, passing under Plenty Rd, and following the trail with a mixture of urban and rural vistas, into Bundoora Parklands concluding the walk at the Bundoora Park Farm Cafe at approximately 3pm for well earned refreshments, and before catching a homeward bound tram in nearby Plenty Road.
