Walk/Hike: Yarra Trail 17 km Flying Fox Colony Loop via Walmer St Bridge

Walk around the Main Yarra Trail looping through Abbotsford Convent, Fairfield Boat House, the Flying Fox colony along the Yarra River, Studley Park Boathouse and finishing back where we started.

The circuit is 17km long over paved trail or easy dirt trails along the river.

I'll be aiming for a brisk pace (10 min/km, 6km/h) on the paved sections. I will adjust to suit the terrain, but be prepared to put in a bit of effort to work up an appetite so you can indulge in a treat at the end!

There will be a takeaway coffee stop along the way at Abbotsford Convent. There will be an optional stop at the end at the Royston Hotel for lunch. No bookings will be made but we'll be there early so we'll try and grab a table where available. Those not stopping for lunch can make their way back to the start or make their way home.
