 AboutA chill loop 1600m along the river, no elevation, wheel chair friendly
lookout deck, wetlands boardwalk, scented gardens and back for food and drink or take some with you
Ideal way to bring on the appetite for breakfast lunch or diner, from the Mindeerup Piazza at Mends Street Jetty, get "organised"
at the Jetty is Mister Walker Bistro where you can book a riverside jetty table inside or out to be ready on your loop return or use the kiosk to buy the basic fuel drinks and snacks (public toilet).
Mindeerup has metered parking or across the road under Coco's restaurant for under cover parking
Heading East 150 mtrs to statue leaf and seating views (ideal sunset)
a little further to shady trees on the waterfront with park benches
and just beyond is the Observation Deck with car park
The Observation Deck opened around 2019 and offers a panoramic view (Dawn and Sunset are special)
continue east 100 mtrs to find the beach sand a popular place to photo snap the black swans, these swans are very social, they will come up close and peck at your hand or small items attached thinking it's s food (they dnt have teeth and the peck is little more than a strong tickle)
Now South and move to the South East side (left) of the large dense cluster of trees (wetlands) and move to the back left (South East) and enter on the boardwalk which winds 200m out to the West side onto lawn so a short walk to Scented Gardens. The Boardwalk has several bench seats in cut outs to offer peaceful moment to reflect. Our loop enters Scented gardens from the front and and exit at the back left then turn right (West) to begin the return, you will pass playground and toilets and then to the the beginning of The Esplanade road. Notice the RAC driverless bus station, check out the timetables to get a free loop ride around to the Old Mill Museum.
The walk back to Mends St along the roadside path reminds you of the space and how this location is a hot spot for skyworks nights on Australia day.
