Walk Description

Distance: 16 kms

OK, maybe not quite gastronomical delights . . . but an urban walk with a twist is on offer for those not travelling anywhere on Queen’s Birthday!

16 kilometres of urban walk will commence at 9.30 from a yet to be determined location with coffee and cake. We will then make our way to a secret location (ok, it’s one of Melbourne’s famous inner city pubs) for a proper sit down lunch. After lunch, we press on with a stop for refreshment at a venue yet to be decided, before winding up at a tavern in Melbourne for a relaxing pint.

Bring your myki!
