One can do very short walks or very long walks, easy or challenging walks! Take your pick! The walks connect to Belgrave, Alfred Nicholas Garden, Sassafras, Mt Dandenong.... the list goes on! It’s also a popular area for cyclists! Make sure you carry plenty of water, gps , daypack and mobile phone just in case you get lost for...
