WHAT TO EXPECT

Queens Street Bridge to Docklands Foreshore Walk is around 8.5km and is a fun and easy hike for beginners and newbies! We will meet at the start of the Yarra Promenade, Southbank before beginning our picturesque walk along the Yarra, taking in all the stunning lights of Melbourne before finishing with a group photo with the Docklands Harbour as our beautiful backdrop.

The trail is roughly 8.5km and should take around 1.5 - 2 hours to complete depending on our pace. 

All ages and fitness levels are welcome to this event. The walk is mostly flat and on concrete footpaths. 

This walk is a real showstopper boasting some of the best views the city of Melbourne has to offer as well as a few stops at some the city's hidden treasures like the Polly Woodside (tall ship) and the beautiful Webb Street Bridge. It's the PERFECT way to cap off a long week at work - An easy walk in great company.
