Walk: Beach side & Albert Park Lake; return walk. Great area &views

Meet on corner of 574 St Kilda Rd & Beatrice St, Melbourne.**
**Albert Park Lake area is very close to this section of St Kilda Rd
[***Address was wrong in Announcement emails/notifications].
There's a cafe near this corner so can grab a cold drink or coffee/tea to enjoy while we walk. We can stop later, or sit & relax towards end of Event

We will walk to & alongside Eastern side, & southern end of Albert Park Lake. (This is opposite side of lake, to where other walking groups start).
We'll walk around southern end of lake, then along the Reserve's paths, then via a few leafy streets with classical style houses, to Catani Garden's & along St Kilda foreshore walking paths. Option: to walk out along Pier.

The beachside walking path is separate from the bike path, so is easy for walking. And to stop on briefly, so your host - as always does on walks - point out a few things, & mention a few heritage & historical facts.
Note: do have to cross the bike path, to get to walking path; look both ways first.

We will walk along beach-side path for awhile OR/& out along the pier, then can walk more directly back to meet point or via part of Albert Park Lake reserve. Or, can catch tram back, if spend more time beachside, or if stop for coffee/tea/smoothie/icecream, & snack; if some of you wish to.
Bring your Myki; OR if don't have, can use credit card or debit card, now.
*If you have a Concession Myki, bring it. We'll likely walk-back tho.
(Will explain on day, how credit/debit card works. Of course those who use phones do know that works since have top set it up, first).

It's flexible what we do; how much we walk, or how long sit & chat
We can easily get a tram at anytime if want to make walk shorter, Or if can't join us for full duration, we'll be near 1 of 3 tram lines at most times.
Will be 22-24C maximum/ at from 1pm-3pm, with a light sea breeze.
