Walk Description

The walk commences at Mordialloc Railway Station with a short walk along to Mordialloc Creek. We then continue through YammerBook Nature Reserve and along the Edithvale Wetlands Trail to the Edithvale-Seaford Wetland. The wetland is the largest natural wetland of its type in the Port Phillip and Westernport basins. It is all that remains of Carrum Carrum Swamp, which once covered more than 4,000 hectares from Mordialloc in the north to Frankston in the south.

From Edithvale Wetlands we will continue through to Chelsea Bicentennial Park to the Patterson River, walking along the riverside path past Patterson Lakes Marina to Carrum. The last 8km of the walk will follow the firm sandy beach back to Mordialloc Railway Station.

There are cafes near the station should we wish to go for coffee before taking the train back to the city.
