ABOUT ANGLESEA RIVER RAMBLE
Starting from the Anglesea Visitor Information Centre, this gentle ramble follows the river as it winds its way to the estuary and the sea. We’ll enjoy a mix of shady riverside paths, boardwalks, and open views across the sandbanks and ocean. With plenty of birdlife, fresh sea breezes, and time to pause at lookouts along the way, this is a relaxed coastal walk perfect for soaking up the beauty of Anglesea’s river and beachside setting.

FOOD + CUPPAS
After the walk, we’ll enjoy a BYO lunch at the picnic tables near the car park. I’ll bring the tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

 WHAT TO BRING

• Water: at least 1L (more if it’s hot)
• Lunch: BYO
• Clothes: comfy, with layers you can add/remove
• Shoes: any comfortable shoes with laces

CARPOOLING
Carpooling is a great way to save car park space, cut down our environmental footprint, and travel with new friends. Many of us come from similar areas, so please drop a note in the chat if you can offer a lift or need one.  It's great to offer a small contribution (or even a coffee) to your driver.
