Slow Walk & Explore: Royal Botanic Gardens

A relaxed walk through one of Melbourne’s most beautiful green spaces.

This is an easy, social stroll — no fitness expectations, no rush. Just wandering paths, pausing when something catches our eye, and enjoying the calm after a workday.

Perfect if you want to get outdoors, chat naturally, or simply exist among trees for a bit.

Plan

• 5:45 pm — Meet & quick hellos
• 6:00 pm — Gentle group walk, exploring paths, the lake, and shaded spots
• 7:30 pm — Gardens close
• After — Optional coffee or sit-down nearby for those keen

We’ll walk together as a group at an easy pace and keep the route flexible, pausing and regrouping as needed so no one is left behind.

What to Expect

• Slow, casual walking
• Plenty of pauses
• Small group, relaxed conversations
• You’re welcome to talk, listen, or just enjoy the scenery

This is not a fitness walk or guided tour.

What to Bring

• Comfortable walking shoes
• Water bottle
• Light jacket (it can cool down)
• Snacks if you like

Meeting point: The Observatory cafe at 5:45pm.

I’ll post a photo of myself here once I arrive. We’ll start walking around 6 pm. If you’re running late, please message me your ETA beforehand — once you arrive, I can share our location with you.
