DAY 3 (PM) – A walk to remember - The Tan Track 🌿

Opposite the very imposing Shrine of Remembrance is Melbourne’s most iconic 3.827km outdoor running and walking loop that circles the Royal Botanic Gardens and Kings Domain. We needed to hit today’s goal of a solid 10km walk, and we were still 4km short after our morning walk. That was when Lour suggested we check out the track, better known to many city dwellers as The Tan. And it did not disappoint!!! With the Yarra River to our right, we walked past the city skyline, the Shrine of Remembrance, and Melbourne Girls Grammar, with the Royal Botanic Gardens to our left all through out. The path alternated between concrete, gravel, and some patches of grass, but there was always the option to step into the vast and lush gardens to cool down and watch the sunset behind the CBD skyline! Tempting but we decided to keep going, complete the loop, and swing by the Shrine for a few photo ops. 🥰 We achieved a combined 12km bringing our total distance for the day to an impressive 30km. Wooohoo! 💪🏻 What a feat, indeed!!! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶🩺✈️

DAY 3 (AM) – Port heritage and breathtaking views – Port Melbourne ⚓️

The sky is clear; perfect for a long-awaited walk along Melbourne’s bayside sanctuary. 🌊 Our previous visits were usually limited to D’Lish for the best fish and chips, followed by a quick stop at Sandridge Lookout for its panoramic views and a walk  through history. These short visits usually happened when family came to visit from overseas.But today, we finally managed to go in the opposite direction and walk all the way to St Kilda Pier. We clocked up a combined distance of 18 km! Way to go, Team Lerio! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🚶🩺✈️💕

DAY 2 – Williamstown at sunset! 🌅 - Williamstown Foreshore Trail

Across the country, over 16,000 volunteers - a community of all ages and backgrounds - have been sharing picturesque shots from ocean to outback, and everything in between. The vicarious experience is unbelievable! This #nofilter photo of Williamstown at sunset is TEAM LERIO’s entry. 🥰 We walked a combined 30km for the Flying Doctors today! 🚶‍♀️ Good job, my loves!!! High spirits all around, not a single complaint. With Melbourne’s skyline as the backdrop, viewed from the best vantage point, who could? 👟💕

Day 1 - TEAM LERIO FAMILY has officially taken off! 🚶‍♀️🩺✈️ - Maribyrnong River Trail

We started strong 💪🏻 with a combined distance of 15km, following an evening walk along the nearby Maribyrnong River Trail. The sky was cloudy, with temp at 15deg that felt colder than it actually was.. Despite the evening drizzle forecast, we decided to head out and get moving! We more than made up for Day 1, which was postponed after yesterday’s heavy rains brought Melbourne to a standstill. Well done, Team!!! 👍🏼 

We're fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

This October, Lour and Tutti are joining Ruth in her second year of the challenge. Together, we have officially formed and registered our team, LERIO FAMILY, for a month-long fitness walking challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further together, we hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Australia is a big country, and for those living in rural and remote areas, access to immediate healthcare is not always guaranteed. For some First Nations communities, the nearest hospital can be an eight-hour drive away.

Every year, the RFDS reaches more than 330,000 Australians through 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. That’ is one person every two minutes!

Follow our journey throughout October! Along with over 16,000 Ocean to Outback volunteers across Australia, we are helping keep the Royal Flying Doctor Service flying - and you can too.
