Boronia Reserve return via Koonung Creek

Meeting place is Boronia Reserve at the end of Leeds Street (Mel 47K3), at 09.20 for a 9.30 start. 

   The walk begins alongside the oval after a few minutes and turn right onto the Koonung Creek track.  The path is macadam all the way so a bit hard under foot and very popular with cyclists.  First we will come to Wetherby/Middleborough Road and shortly after that turn left onto the footbridge, cross the freeway and continu along the south side of the freeway under Tram/Station Road and Elgar Rd.  We continue past the Elgar Park Hockey Fields and into the Koonung Linear Park wetlands.  We will take the diversion over bridge and down onto the walkway through the swamp.  The swamp hens have a technique in bending reeds.  A little further on, a bit short of Doncaster Road, we will stop in a small park for morning tea (10.45).  Then we retuned the same way
