Werribee River Downstream Walk - UPDATE
About this event
A circuit walk in the west of Melbourne, from Werribee Station. This walk will go downstream from Werribee Station.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 3: Moderate walk (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System).
UPDATE: The planned walk was longer than originally thought, so we will now return to Werribee Station from Werribee Mansion by bus. This now makes the walk ~11km long.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This easy and pleasant walk follows the Werribee River, then passes around the Open Range Zoo, Werribee Mansion, and then back by bus to the start. It is an easy, paved path with hardly any elevation, and it's a beautiful track along the river. We will probably have lunch in the Mansion grounds (Rose Garden?).
Highlights of the trail include:
- Victorian State Rose Garden
- Grotto Pond
- Werribee Mansion. We will be going through the property, but not inside the Mansion. You could independently visit the mansion, taking a later bus.
- Werribee River

MEETING TIME | LOCATION: 11am at southern side of Werribee Station. This is on Station Place at the top of the ramp.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT: The Werribee train from Flinders Street Station leaving at 10:10am arrives at 10:58am, so we’ll wait for that, but if you want to buy anything in Werribee, take the earlier 9:47am train. We’ll be in the first carriage. Note that with the Metro train being introduced, this may change.
