Park Street Update: Anzac Week Events, April 22-27

Our feature event in Melbourne this week is BLACKBURN CREEKLANDS on Saturday April 27.  Start from the scout hall on Pakenham Street – extra parking in Garie Street (none available on Pakenham St).

You’ll explore the tranquil trails either side of Gardiners Creek, as well as the beautiful leafy lanes that this area is well known for, in the heart of the Bellbird area.  Everyone starts at 2pm, and you can socialize afterwards with the maps, cakes, and hot drinks.  Choose from a 45 minute Run, a 60 minute Run, or a 65 minute Power Walk, while you collect as many points as you can within your time limit.  Register between 1.30pm and 1.50pm, and be ready to start at 2pm.  Entry is just $6 for adults and $4 for kids.  Please bring a small plate of afternoon tea to share.
