Starting from Smith Street, Alphington, this walk takes you to Willsmere Park via the Darebin Creek Trail, going through Sparks Reserve along the way. A slice of nature in the busy city of Melbourne, this track can be perfect for a workout for both you and your dog. You'll notice the refreshing feel of the creek whether you're whizzing by or taking your time. There is drinkable water on both ends, along with toilets. The track can get quite busy, so avoid peak times for a more secluded experience. Keep an eye out for snakes, especially between October and April. There is an informational signpost on what to do if your dog gets bitten. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wurundjeri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Yarra Bend River Circuit

9.6 km circuit

2 h 45 min to 4 h 30 min

Yarra Bend River Circuit

2 h 45 min to 4 h 30 min

Starting from Fairfield Park Drive Carpark, Fairfield, this circuit walk gives you a tour of the Yarra Bend Park, visiting Galatea Point and (potentially) Dights Falls along the way. The artificial weir forming said falls is one of the park's most popular attractions. It was built to supply water to the Ceres Flour Mill in the 1840s. The Yarra Bend Park --Melbourne's largest natural bushland park-- offers much more than that though. Playing golf, picnic spots, and canoeing opportunities are some of the things you can do here. Escape the city's busyness without the need to get outside its borders. The diverse wildlife is another reason to make this a regular trip. Flying foxes (megabats), kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, magpies, ducks, ringtail possums, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, and red-rumped parrots are some of the species you can come across here. Enjoy the serene journey as you make your way through the river red gums. Dogs are allowed on leash. Check the forecast and try to avoid doing this walk after rain as it gets muddy. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wurundjeri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
