Length:<\/strong> 5.1 km<\/p>\n

Time taken<\/strong>: 1 hours, 20 mins (including breaks for pictures)<\/p>\n

Grade:<\/strong> Easy<\/p>\n

Climb<\/strong>: 36 metres (as measured by RunKeeper)<\/p>\n

On a day with such fantastic weather, this walk offered a great contrast of beach and bush walking. The walk followed Mordialloc creek, starting near a cricket ground with a game in full swing, before heading towards the beach past all the moored boats, then back inland along a more bushy path.<\/p>\n

The hardest part of this walk was working out how to cross Nepean Hwy. (There is an underpass as I found out too late!) The scenery, especially along the beach, was quite pretty. At the beach I walked the length of the pier, where an older woman nearly hit me with a fish she was reeling in, and up the beach path to the lifesaving club.<\/p>\n

Overall the walk did feel quite urban as there was almost always buildings visible, but the beach section made up for it.<\/p>\n

The boat ramp and adjacent carpark were super busy due to the great weather.<\/p><\/div>\n

I'm not sure if this area was a boat graveyard or maintenance area, but there were plenty of land based boats lying around. This is along the Nepean Hwy.<\/p><\/div>\n
