Pleasant Day in Melbourne

After a couple of weeks of not being able to get a good training walk in, due to heavy chest colds, we managed to go on a short walk around the Botanical Gardens in Melbourne. itt was a very pleasant, sunny day. Quite a change from the cold winters weather we have had recently. We did about 9km, and feel quite good. It was nice to stretch the legs.

Southgate to Point Cook

Today’s training walk took as from Southgate, Melbourne to Point Cook. We took the ferry from Southgate to the Scienceworks jetty. The walk was from Scienceworks to Point Cook was about 25km.  This is about the average daily distance we will need to complete each day on the Camino. We have all our gear, so we walked with full packs.  Today’s walk took us along the Williamstown to Altona coastal trail which is a shared bike and walking path.
