Wailing At The Full Moon Night Walk - Yarra Bend National Park, Fairfield: POSTPONED

Sun, 22 Aug 2021
19:30 - 22:00

** PLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT CANNOT PROCEED AT PRESENT DUE TO THE EXTENSION OF LOCKDOWN #6 **

Here is an opportunity to "frock up" in your best winter outfits and head outdoors.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Easy, approximately 8 km, circuit walk. 

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
The August 2021 full moon is due to be observed in Melbourne on Sunday 22 August, so we will venture out on Sunday night to take advantage of that. Winter provides the best possibility of clear skies to maximise viewing the stunning moonlight. Yarra Bend Park provides an area with minimal artificial light thus maximising the impact of moonlight. The surface for this walk is 100 per cent pavement or compacted “blue metal”. Totally flat or undulating except for two small “huff and puff” inclines:

  • 1) from Kane’s Bridge up to The Boulevard, and
  • 2) from the Water Pipe Bridge up past the Pavilion at Fairfield Park.

The walk will commence at the car park and head south along Yarra Bend Road past the old Fairfield Hospital (now Melbourne Polytechnic) to cross the Yarra at Kane’s bridge. The walk will then proceed along The Boulevard in Kew past Bellbird Park (home to the Fruit Bats), crossing the Eastern Freeway; an area which is a “hot spot” for watching New Years Eve fireworks. Crossing the Yarra River via the Water Pipe Bridge we will re-enter Fairfield Park.
