Length: 3.83 km (shortened after not going through the overgrown Nature walk full of spider webs)<\/p>\n

Time taken: 1 hour, 20 minutes (including breaks for pictures)<\/p>\n

Grade: Easy<\/p>\n

Climb: 53 metres<\/p>\n

I walked this alone which in retrospect wasn’t a great idea, but beside a run in with spiders in the ‘Nature walk’ it was a pleasant walk. The walk follows the Yarra River up to what is known as Blue Tongue Bend, which is an unexceptional bend in the river. However the bushy scenery makes this walk worthwhile.<\/p>\n

The track back was a wide management road for the most part.<\/p><\/div>\n
