Meeting place: Eltham Railway Station

7:15PM — Eltham Railway Station
The ride from Eltham down Diamond Creek and along the Main Yarra Trail is one of the best in Melbourne, and especially beautiful by the light of a full moon.

It’s one of our favourites, so come along and bring some food or drink to share at the midway picnic and join in a bit of urban camping within coo-ee of the city at an almost-secret location. byo tent etc.

Catch the 6:19pm Hurstbridge train from Flinders St Station (Platform 1, last carriage).

It’s mainly off-road on a fairly good quality track. There are various points where railway stations can be reached for an early bail-out, including Fairfield, or ride all the way back into the City via Westgarth, Fitzroy and East Melbourne.
