Day 13 albert park lake

After a few slow days catching up with friends and enjoying quiet time at home, I needed to play catch-up. 1 x lap of the Tan 3 x laps of Albert Park Lake Between Bridgette, David, the Philocoffee shop, the Boathouse Cafe, and 3 x toilet breaks, I managed to clear 22.91kms.

Day 10, 11, & 12 home

With limited time the past few days preparing the apartment for warmer weather, I have enjoyed leisurely walks close to home with my neighbour and her beautiful little dachshund, Maple. Sometimes it's good to stop and smell the roses, and other days on the hunt for a new destination to explore.

Day 9 albert park lake

A quick lap around the Tan followed by a lap around the Lake. I was lucky enough to see some baby ducklings. Vert sweet.

Day 8 the tan

A lap around the Tan with my neighbour.

Week 1 - 75kms

On track to meet my 300km target 👣 This weeks journey has taken me from East Gippsland, to the Mornington Peninsula, and beyond. I haven't done this all on my own. Walking with family and friends helps motivate me to keep going. Making it a social catch-up while clocking those kms. Where to next?

Day 7 south melbourne

I was greeted this morning by the lovely Miss Maple (dachshund). So Bridgette and I opted for a shorter 3km walk through Kings Domain. I later decided to walk to Port Melbourne because it was a lovely sunny day and perfect for a beach stroll. I enjoy exploring the many beautiful streets of Albert Park and South Melbourne. Rich in history. Unfortunately, I didn't realise my app wasn't tracking the additional 3kms I had already walked to Gasworks Studios. Hence the additional 3kms I have added to today's journey.

Day 6 southbank

5am start with 2 x laps of the Tan. One solo. One with my neighbour. Decided to talk myself for an afternoon stroll around Southbank. A place I once walked with my beloved dog everyday. A lot has changed since I last walked these paths. More flowers and gardens. New buildings. Others torn down. I do love living in Southbank.

Day 5 point nepean national park

We decided to drive down to the Mornington Peninsula to meet up with some of the team. We explored the Point Nepean National Park. Stunning location with lots of history.

Day 4 royal botanic gardens melbourne

A quick trip to South Melbourne followed by a beautiful sunny stroll around the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Yarra River.

Day 3 albert park golf course

A quick walk to South Melbourne for some much needed essentials. Spent the afternoon down at Albert Park Lake while my husband played golf.

Day 2 metung

Kicked off the day with a walk along Seaview Drive in Kalimna for some stunning views of Lakes Entrance. Made my way to Metung and stoopped at Chinaman's Creek. Stolled down to Shaving Point and back along the boardwalk.

We're fundraising for the Royal Flying Doctor Service

Australia is a big country, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee. For some communities, the nearest hospital is eight hours drive away.

This October, we're taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, we hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

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

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to our challenge today!
