Join us for a relaxed evening walk along the beach from South Melbourne towards St Kilda Pier. We’ll follow the waterfront path, with bay views, beach paths, and a social, low-pressure pace. The full AllTrails route is about 7.1 km return, listed as moderate, with minimal elevation. AllTrails also lists it as an out-and-back trail, so we can keep the plan flexible depending on how people are feeling. You can choose what suits you: * Shorter option: walk one way towards St Kilda Pier and head off from there. Trams are available nearby. * Full option: walk back with the group towards South Melbourne. This is a casual walk, not a fitness challenge. We’ll keep an easy social pace, and you’re welcome to leave early if you prefer the shorter option. **Links** Meetup start point: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7](https://maps.app.goo.gl/nGWgU4Fni1xPMgPG7) AllTrails route link: [https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/australia/victoria/st-kilda-pier-via-south-melbourne-beach) **Rough timeline** * 6:00pm – Meet outside South Melbourne Life Saving Club * 6:15pm – Start walking towards St Kilda * Around 7:00pm – Arrive near St Kilda Pier / short-walk finish option * 7:00–8:15pm – Return walk towards South Melbourne, with optional food or gelato depending on the group * 8:15pm – Meetup ends **What to bring** Comfortable walking shoes, water, and a warm layer. **What to expect** * Distance: About 7.1 km return for the full option * Difficulty: Moderate according to AllTrails, but mostly straightforward waterfront walking * Pace: Slow, easy, and social * Vibe: Relaxed, low-pressure, and welcoming to solo attendees **Important notes** * You can do the shorter one-way option and finish near St Kilda Pier. * You can leave early if needed. * The walk is weather-dependent, so please check the forecast and dress warmly. * We’ll aim to stay together, but the route is simple and flexible. * Optional food or gelato will depend on the group on the night.

Fly in Friday 19 June and convince your boss to have Monday 22 June off, also!! **Day One - Mornington Peninsula, Ghost of Harold Holt/ Portsea and Sorrento!** We commence **5:50AM** at Flinders Street Train Station, Melbourne CBD, for our train/bus trip to Portsea, Mornington Peninsula. We head into the Point Nepean National Park where, 7km in, we have early lunch + bathroom break at Fort Nepean. The views into Port Phillip Bay are amazing. **NO SHOPS HERE; MEMBERS MUST BRING LUNCH**. After lunch we hike out to the tip of Mornington Peninsula before turning back to find Cheviot Beach, where PM Harry Holt vanished 17 December 1967, never to be seen again. There is something very fishy about this: I'll explain on the day! Suspicions aroused, we hit Butlers Track and amazing views into the Bass Strait all the way to Portsea Surf Beach, a bathroom break and a snack for the hungry ones! Farnsworth Track and local roads lead to Sorrento which we inspect before re-joining the same public transport links back to Flinders Street Station, CBD, by no later than 7:30PM. **Total Day 1 is 19km**. **Day Two - Brighton Beach, Trendy St Kilda, Botanic Gardens, Yarra River and Federation Square!** We commence **9:37am** Flinders Street Station and train to Brighton Beach where we strike out along Port Phillip Bay waterfront for the CBD. About 9km in we stop for lunch in the ever-so-trendy and interesting Fitzroy Street, St Kilda, an exciting destination! After lunch we head into the famous Albert Park, skirting the grand lake, and then muscle across to the Botanic Gardens, its lake and do some "island hopping"! Out of these amazing gardens we find the Yarra River, which we cross, stroll past the famous sporting precinct (MCG and all that!) and work around to Federation Square which is right next to Flinders Street station. The Transport Hotel is handy for a quick beer to finish the day off. I will suggest a restaurant, in the CBD, for a **group dinner on Sunday night** for Members who are staying over to Monday. We finish too late on Saturday for this option. **Total Day 2 is 17km**. **Meeting Place and Transport:** Both days start at Flinders Street Station. Saturday, train departs Platform 6 at **6:07am**. Saturday fares are about $30 in total. Sunday, train departs Platform 10 at 9:37am and the fare is about $5. Members must buy a **Myki Card**, available from all 7 Eleven stores in Melbourne and many other shops. **Meet at Flinders Street Station entrance, under the clock tower on St Kilda Road, by NO LATER THAN 5:50 am on Saturday and 9:15am on Sunday.** **What to bring:** Trail runners or trainers; 1.5 – 2 litres of water, refill available; hydrolytes; two snacks and one lunch for Saturday; light rain jacket as always. **NO SHOPS FOR LUNCH STOP ON SATURDAY, PLENTY OF FOOD SHOPS ON SUNDAY!** Suggested Donation: $80 **Pub:** Saturday is too late a finish. I suggest Transport Hotel, Federation Square, on Sunday By RSVPing to this event you (and your guests) agree to and are bound by the terms and conditions of SOMG which you can view here: [Sydney Outdoors Meetup Group Discussions](https://www.meetup.com/sydney-outdoors-meetup-group/discussions/?eventOrigin=home_groups_you_organize) If you have any questions, please leave a comment below.
