Starting from the car park near Kambah Pool Southern Beach, Kambah, this route takes you to Pine Island Reserve via the Murrumbidgee Discovery Track. With a beach on both ends, this riverside walk can make for a great weekend trip with the family. There are various canoe entry points and cute little swimming spots along with a variety of viewpoints, providing you gorgeous views over the river.

Additionally, the reserve is home to some fluffy wombats which can induce a desire to pick them up and rock them like a baby. Please refrain yourself from doing so.

Circuit

Starting from Fairfield Park Drive Carpark, Fairfield, this circuit walk gives you a tour of the Yarra Bend Park, visiting Galatea Point and (potentially) Dights Falls along the way. The artificial weir forming said falls is one of the park's most popular attractions. It was built to supply water to the Ceres Flour Mill in the 1840s.

Escape the city's busyness without the need to get outside its borders. The diverse wildlife is another reason to make this a regular trip. Flying foxes (megabats), kookaburras, rainbow lorikeets, magpies, ducks, ringtail possums, yellow-tailed black cockatoos, and red-rumped parrots are some of the species you can come across here. Enjoy the serene journey as you make your way through the river red gums. Dogs are allowed on leash. Check the forecast and try to avoid doing this walk after rain as it gets muddy.
