This path of approx 8km return has a surprisingly rural feel, twisting along Kedron Brook via old farmlands.

Scarborough to Newport Walk or Cycle Path

This 6-7km return trail cuts a green swathe through the inner west and north, taking in wooded glades, parklands

This scenic seafront walk or ride of around 10km return packs a lot of variety into its length
