At the end of our journey, we'll take a well-deserved Lunch at the iconic Studley Park Boathouse – a beautiful historic building turned into a peaceful riverside café. You’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch here, with a range of delicious options and the calming view of the river and boats passing by.

Dight's Falls Reserve
Our journey continues to Dights Falls, a culturally significant site for the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, where we take a moment to appreciate its deep First Nations heritage, and the evolution of the land throughout the years to our modern society.
