Maribyrnong River Trail – RA50 WALK

RA50 Walk
Maribyrnong River Trail

At RA50, we try and bring you a variety of new and interesting places to go. Places to explore, enjoy and exercise in the company of your fellow, like-minded walkers.

This week is no exception as we head over to Melbourne’s second largest river, the Maribyrnong. Here we’ll discover a popular, wide-open, new walking trail alongside the picturesque banks of this old Melbourne trading port.

At the halfway point, we’ll stop for coffee at one of Melbourne’s oldest pubs, the Angler’s Tavern, now a spacious and welcoming meeting spot on a Sunday morning.
