đź•™ Start Time: 10am (please arrive a bit earlier so we can start on time)
# 🥾 About This Walk
We will walk up to the Panoramic Lookout then follow the undulating track to Harkaway which will transport us from suburbia to the peaceful countryside. From Harkaway we will take the path beside a quiet road until we enter the top of the 1,001 Steps Bayview Park.
Here we can stop to enjoy the serenity, the views to Lysterfield and down to the bay.
If the weather is kind to us this will be a good spot to stop for a lunch and drink break (bring something to sit on) before doing a loop including the steps.
We will then retrace our route back to Harkaway and then back to the cars at Old Coach Road.
Everyone is welcome — whether you’re building fitness, seeking community, or simply wanting a peaceful moment outdoors.
