Walk: Discover unknown paths, hidden gardens within gardens, with many sculptures & statues, & history. Then Walk to Lakeside views with cafe stop possibly here. OR, can skirt side of lake & head to beachside.
OR, do it all completely differently — no planned route; i know all these areas well, & want to surprise myself too lol.
Meet adjacent to the new Anzac Station — Meet Outside the Domain Rd Entrance which is on the Kings Domain Gardens side of St Kilda Rd.
(if exit via Anzac Station main entrance, cross St Kilda Rd, to east side).
My phone 0402816644. Best to phone or text, than via Meetup app.
Will be 28C Sunny; remember to wear hat & sunscreen, & bring water.
Most paths are easy to moderate walking; but may be 1 or 2 moderately steep sections & some stairs, IF we go that way (but they can be avoided).
Destination: Unknown. May be just in the shaded gardens, or lake area, or beach, or just to nice spot with cafe if it's getting too hot.
Temp from 11:30-2pm 28C.
*Event titled Destination Unknown #1 as planning some trips to take advantage of the free public transport on weekends in Jan.
**The poor spelling, & writing of locatio,n in address section was by some other group's host — I will fix it later.
*This event/meetup is posted on both Daytime Events, & St Kilda 3182
Total Duration of Event: Approx 2 Hours :30 minutes.
This allows for 1 hour one-way walk + return by Free Public Transport (or walk back) + the cafe; & for is wish to a particular location for longer
Getting There, & Finding Us:
**FREE Public Transport for ALL on Weekends in January, Victoria wide.
You don't need to tap on/off, so don't need a myki on weekends, in Jan
Finding Me/Us: I'll be wearing burgundy & navy cap, & likely a blue shirt.
Exit Anzac Station via Domain Rd exit/entrance. Or via main & the St Kilda Rd tramstop exit/entrance, then cross to the Gardens/Park side.
Getting to Anzac Station: if coming via the CBD, do either of:
get to (or interchange to) State Library Station, or Town Hall Station, then take A Train to Anzac Station. It takes only 2 mins
Plenty of Customer Service Staff @the new pedestrian subway & in the new stations, so just ask them if need to - but is all fairly easy.
OR, can do (as always been) take any Tram (except for Route 1 trams) along St Kilda Rd to Domain Rd /Domain Junction/& now Anzac Station
tram Stop. 20 mins (approx) travel time from the Federation Square /Flinders St Station tram stop.
Parking: St Kilda Rd, a few hundred metres to the north, & south from Anzac Station/Domain Junction, there's some 4 hour spots (may be pay spots), & some sections with unrestricted spots & free.
Domain Rd is mostly 2 hour spots, & many are metered.
As this Meet location, & Anzac Station, are unfamiliar for many, I/We will wait a bit longer for people, but we'll leave BY 11:45am at the latest
