About this event
Follows several inner suburban trails that form the Capital City Trail that circles inner Melbourne.
GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 2: Moderate 12 km point to point walk on concrete and bitumen paths (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System).
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: The Capital City Trail is a shared use path which circles the city centre and some inner eastern and northern suburbs. It is 29.5 km in length, and mostly consists of sections of other trails, such as the Merri Creek Trail, Main Yarra Trail, Moonee Ponds Creek Trail and Inner Circle Rail Trail. We make our way to the Merri Creek where we pick up the Merri Creek Trail section of the Capital City Trail and follow around through Fitzroy North onto the Inner Circle Rail Trail with the branch line to what is now the Edinburgh Gardens. Walking past the Melbourne Zoo, we are now on the Upfield Shared Path. We soon reach City Link and follow the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail to Docklands, finishing up at Southern Cross Station. After-walk refreshments at Southern Cross Station.
