A very pleasant and relatively short circuit ramble from Federation Square up the Yarra River, with picnic lunch at Como Park or cafe lunch at Kanteen Cafe before a leisurely walk back to the CBD for an optional social drink.

GRADE | LENGTH | TYPE: Grade 2: Moderate 10.9 km circuit walk (graded according to the AWTGS: Australian Walking Tracks Grading System) on flat well formed shared cycleway/footpaths. If opting for a picnic lunch at Como Park, use of the pedestrian crossing is strongly recommended to cross busy Alexandra Ave from the Kanteen Cafe to Como Park.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: Meeting below Federation Square/Birrarung Marr (beside the path that runs from Swanston Street towards the MCG), a very pleasant and relatively short ramble from Federation Square up the Yarra River, taking in the sights, smells, wild-life and river activities, upstream as far as the MacRobertson Bridge, before crossing to walk city-bound on the opposite bank, stopping for an optional cafe lunch at Kanteen Cafe (see map) or a picnic lunch at Como Park on the opposite side of Alexandra Ave, before walking back to the CBD for an optional well earned post-walk drink opposite Flinders Street Station.
