We'll first walk to the Sunday Farmers Market, that also has heaps food & drinks trucks, @Robertson Reserve corner of Cole St & Hammer St.
We'll spend about 30 minutes there — Check out stalls, grab a coffee or cold drink. And some food, or treats :) to take home. Bring shopping bag
or something to put any purchases (if you do) in.

From the Market we'll walk to & through the Park like Botanic Gardens.
We'll stop here briefly. Also Toilets less busy & bit cleaner available here, than along beach. (No Toilets at Market, but some at Station/Meet Point)
We'll then walk along the foreshore path.
Group can choose to stop at the on foreshore kiosk/cafe — if weather is pleasant & not too breezy or fresh or too hot (__C forecast),
OR to go to proper but casual cafe, with beach & bay views.

After that almost final stop, we can walk to Williamstown Beach Station.
Those who drove can easily get train 1 station to Williamstown Stn Those who drove can easily get train 1 station back to Williamstown Stn, if have a myki, OR credit card (new) Option tap may be also available.
Or if some people wish, can walk back to Williamstown Station, BUT it will mean, total duration of event will be longer than posted/scheduled.

I've put duration as generous 2.5 hours (to allow for longer time at market, & at kiosk OR cafe). But we can finish earlier, if you wish.
Total actual walking time/distance: approx 75 minutes/3.5-4 kms.
Will be nice 21C Sunny; remember to wear hat, sunscreen & bring water.
