Warrandyte State Park

Distance: 4.35 km
Climb: 56 m

        It was a cold and rainy day but as a couple, we go to the nature despite the changes of weather (of course not in horrible, dangerous conditions!). Warrandyte State Park is situated in the North-East from the city. The trail was basically alongside the Yarra River (yup, the Yarra River that goes through the city!). It was a nice walk, the ground was flat most of the time. The trail was fairly smooth and flat with not many obstacles. But the path was quite narrow and we had to walk in single files. We also had to pay attention when walking as one side of the path does not have barriers but only a few metres of shrubs which then lead to the river. So I don't think it's suitable for very young children and it's pram-unfriendly.

        It was a calming and relaxing walk, We didn't encounter any other people throughout the walk. It was beautiful to watch the flowing of river. Victor thought it would be a good place for fishing as there were some quiet spots too. We stopped at the picnic ground and decided to turn back due to time constraints. If not, we would have went further down to the Blue Tongue Bend, which would be one of the plans in the near future!

It's cold and wet but we're still going!

Beautiful raindrops settling under tree branches.
