17KM WALK: THORNBURY TO ST KILDA

A few weeks ago we walked from our place to the St Kilda Botanic Gardens to meet J's sister. Our route took us down the Merri Creek, onto the North Fitzroy branch of the old Inner Circle Railway, through Edinburgh Gardens, down Napier St to Fitzroy Gardens, through Treasury Gardens, over the Yarra and into the Royal Botanic Gardens, down through Fawkner Park, along St Kilda Rd and Barkly St to St Kilda Botanic Gardens. It was really nice - we had brunch in Fitzroy North (Julio) and a thermos of tea overlooking the lakes in the Royal Botanic Gardens, the sun was shining but it wasn't too hot, and we saw lots of STUFF. Here are some photos of things we saw!
