Moderate walk : Car Pool from Eltham Lower park at 8.30am
Park in the small car park in Conos Ct, close to Park Rd (Mel 49 A1), or in adjacent Park Rd .
The walk will follow the section of the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail completed in 2018.
Cross Park Rd, and walk downhill to the point where a trail along the creek is on the right. Walk to Heads Rd and beyond, possibly through to the Mullum Mullum Tunnel. Retrace steps back to Park Rd. If time allows, turn right along Park Rd, cross the road, and pick up the path within the Alan Morton Reserve (and which runs parallel to Park Rd. Walk to the roundabout at Drayton Cres (Mel 35 C11), then retrace steps back to the cars.
The section of the walk which uses the new trail is very easy. Members who would normally do the Easy walks will have no difficulty with this. On completing the section of the Mullum Mullum Trail, they can turn left and return to the cars several hundred metres back along Park Rd. Walkers who normally do the Moderate walks might like to do the extension through the Alan Morton Reserve.
EASY Walk : Koonung Creek Circuit 8kms
