Edithvale-Seaford Wetlands — Attraction in Melbourne

It’s pretty well maintained, though the circuit (around 7km) is mostly around a fenced off reserve. There’s one viewing platform, and the view of the wetlands is okay. If you walk the full circuit, there’s one grassed section with what feels like a cat track, that could make you wonder if you’re off track. It’s fine. And you’ll very briefly have to jump onto a road then a court to pick up the trail again. All in all, it’s a good walk but there are better. Oh, and...
