25.01.2022 Altona to Port Melbourne,Sunday 8th May, 2016, $10 Coast Walk Easy/Medium (flat), 16km This is a pleasant walk. From village-like Altona we head past Seaholme to Kororoit Creek, with its mangroves and small fishermen's huts. Further along there is a small rocky boat harbour and the hidden treasures of Williamstown. After coffee in Williamstown we walk along the lower reaches of the Yarra to the Westgate Punt. After crossing to Fisherman's Bend we head past Garden City to ...Port Melbourne and a tram back to the CBD.

Fitzroy was Melbourne's first suburb in 1839, and today it is the citys smallest and most densely populated. Brunswick Street is also filled with an impressive abundance of cafes, restaurants and bars to choose from. With so many choices, it can be difficult to know where to go for a morning coffee, after-work wine, or weekend grazing board with friends. Foodi will lead you through the urban maze, past local artwork, and introduce you to the best cheese, wine and tapas in Melbourne. You will visit several establishments with a sit-down break in between, and some venues will discuss their produce in detail.
