The walk is up to maybe 8km (5 Miles) and takes in a little of the Alexandra Gardens with a walk along the Yarra to the Kings Domain, along "The Tan" a bit and through to the Royal Botanic Gardens. Autumn (Fall) is a bit late this year and many of the trees have leaves of golden hue.
After a leisurely meander through the Botanic Gardens including a short stop for a light lunch (BYO or purchase at "The Terrace") we then arrive at the Gardens Visitor centre.
From there we wander over to the Shrine of Remembrance and other memorials in the area. After that if you still feel energetic enough you can wander through the Victoria Gardens back to the CBD or catch a tram instead. I expect this all to take about three hours.
While rated "Easy" the walk does involve some extended inclines and some stone steps - I suggest you wear comfortable sturdy shoes.
Please meet at princes Bridge near Federation Square 10:45am for 11:00am departure.
