A circuit walk in the northeast of Melbourne, near Bulleen.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 2: Easy 7 km circuit walk (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System).

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: This will be an easy walk through the Yarra Valley Parklands and Banksia Park, ending in the grounds of the Heide Museum of Modern Art for a late lunch.

Heide is a public art museum and sculpture park located on a stretch of the Yarra River in Melbourne that has long served as a meeting point and as a creative hub. Once a significant Wurundjeri gathering place, the site later attracted the artists of the Australian Impressionist School before becoming the home of art patrons John and Sunday Reed in 1935. The Reeds and their circle of artists and writers, Sidney Nolan, Albert Tucker, Joy Hester, Charles Blackman and Mirka Mora among them, embraced the brave and the new in art and ideas and their spirited legacy inspires the museum’s activities today, from collaborating with emerging and mid-career artists to celebrating those who have made major contributions to Australian and international art.
