NOTE: This walk has replaced the “Williamstown Westgate Punt Port Melbourne” walk, due to maintenance works on the train lines between North Melbourne, Werribee and Williamstown this weekend.
Walk Description
Distance: 16 kms
The walk starts in Mordialloc by the beach after catching the train from Flinders St. We will walk north along well formed tracks amongst coastal tea-tree; there are continuous vistas of Port Phillip Bay and the city skyline. The walk includes the Bayside Coastal Art trail that celebrates the lives and artwork of notable Australian artists including work by famous Heidelberg School artists who painted the Bayside coast in years past. Ricketts Point Marine Sanctuary along the trail has shallow water, sandstone reefs and rock pools and is ideal for various marine life. The walk will finish at Brighton Beach, catching the train to Flinders St.
