This guided walking tour invites you to experience the city from a different perspective as you wander through native bushland and tranquil trails that reveal the park’s natural beauty and wildlife. Spot Melbourne’s largest colony of flying foxes as they roost in their treetop canopy - a rare and fascinating encounter. Learn about the vital role these creatures play in the local ecosystem and the efforts to protect their habitat. Continue your journey to the significant site of Dights Falls, where your guide will share the cultural importance of the area for First Nations people, along with the industrial and environmental history that has shaped the Yarra River over time. To conclude your adventure, enjoy a relaxing lunch (1 meal plus 1 drink) at the historic Fairfield Boathouse, a hidden local gem nestled along the riverbank.
