ジャネット・ミルマン保護区は、パースの東郊外にある都市部の自然保護区です。ピクニックエリアやバーベキュー設備が整った、のんびりとしたスポットで、地元の人たちが犬の散歩をしている姿をよく見かけます。犬はリードを付けていれば許可されていますが、バーベキューは安全ですのでご心配なく。犬はピクニックエリアやバーベキューエリアから少なくとも10メートル離しておく必要があります。

この小さな渡し舟は、週末と祝日に、通常は午前遅くから午後の中頃にかけてヤラ川を渡り、ヘリング島へ向かいます。川の横断自体はほんの数分で、メルボルンで最も短いフェリー乗船の1つです。島に到着すると、ウォーキングトラック、開けた灌木地、屋外彫刻のコレクションが点在しています。

Bordering the Yarra River near the Main Yarra Trail, the Royal Botanic Gardens are one of Melbourne’s most beautiful green spaces. The gardens cover 38 hectares and feature a mix of landscaped lawns, lakes, and collections of native and international plants. Walking paths wind through the gardens, offering quiet spots to relax beneath large trees or beside the water. It’s a peaceful place to take a break from the city, with great views of Melbourne’s skyline rising beyond the greenery.

Spanning the Yarra River between South Yarra and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Morell Bridge is one of Melbourne’s most distinctive historic bridges. Built in 1899, it was the first reinforced concrete bridge constructed in Victoria. The elegant three-arch design features decorative dragon motifs and classic Victorian lamp posts. Today the bridge is closed to cars and used by walkers and cyclists, making it a pleasant crossing with views along the Yarra and the surrounding parklands.

The Zig Zag Track does exactly what is says on the tin, a series of switchbacks take you up, or down, the peaks of the Dandenong Range. Mount Corhanwarrabul is the closest summit to the track but you can also reach the summit of Mount Dandenong by following the Kyeema Track.

The summit of Mount Dandenong definitely has a lot going on. Not only is it the highest point of the surrounding mountains (633 meters), it also has great views of Melbourne in the distance, the Skyhigh Restaurant, a picnic garden, lodging, and even a maze!

The Capital City Trail loops along the Yarra River, through leafy parks, and links several shared paths into one seamless city circuit. Along the way, you’ll pass cafés, picnic spots, historic sites, and the Melbourne Docklands. The route is generally straightforward, though there are a few intersections that lack signage. Traditionally the trail begins close to Flinders Street Station but you can pick it up at any point for a full circuit or just a short section.

The Princes Park Circuit is a popular, shared running and walking loop that follows the perimeter of Princes Park in Carlton North. The sealed path measures about 3.2 kilometres and is widely used for jogging, cycling, and casual strolls thanks to its flat, accessible layout. Passing lawns, sports fields and tree-lined edges, it’s one of Melbourne’s most well-known inner-city exercise routes.
