Description : Cycle along Melbourne’s favorite bike paths from Carlton following Capital City trail which passes under city link to Docklands, we may even see a cruise liner at Victoria Harbour .
Then we pass the city on north or south banks of the Yarra which we follow around past Burnley, at Richmond (near Victoria Gardens SC) we go up a ramp, cross the Walmer st bridge into Kew, beware there is a steep climb here; once on the Boulevard it’s down hill till the next bridge which takes us across the Yarra time to hop off as we have to take the steps around to Abbotsford then we pass Dights Falls .
Cross yet another Bridge where the Merri creek meets the Yarra slight climb around to Fairfield cross the narrow pipe bridge zig zag climb that leads up to the Boulevard around to the Chandler hwy which you can cross or take the steps underneath .
Now you see the Yarra up past East Kew another shortish climb turn left at the bridge at Burke Rd path is now unsealed pass through Yarra flats and Banyule flats to Westerfields Park after that pass under Fitzsimons lane follow more unsealed path keep an eye for a left hand turn we need to cross a bridge to get to Eltham.
Once on the Yarra trail there are hardly any road crossings.
