City to Point Cook Coastal Park (Intermediates)

Ride:
A road ride from town to Point Cook (lunch), visiting the Coastal Park and returning on paths and roads back to town (Melb Exhibition Centre).
FYI, I have added a small detour, on our way back, to Champion Rd in Newport to see the new footbridge / bike-bridge over the railway there at this now-closed railway crossing.
