week forty five | merri creek and fairfield boathouse, melbourne

It looks like spring has officially hit Melbourne (sort of). As this past weekend was a pretty big weekend, I took some much needed relax time on Sunday afternoon and went on a bit of a sunshine bike adventure with lovely Max.

Living north side has a lot of advantages - Max’s house is really close to lots of bike trails along Merri Creek – a beautiful little creek that runs down into the Yarra. These bike paths are a lovely oasis within the city and with the dappled sunlight, it looks just like the kind of place fairies would hang out. (Okay, I loved all those books as a kid!)

We had a lovely ride, a bit of an explore, a drool over the houses backing on to the river and eventually made in to the Fairfield Park Boathouse for some refreshments and to feed the ducks.

Fairfield Park Boathouse is cute and quaint, a little too – LOOK HOW HISTORIC WE ARE. WE’LL CALL EVERYTHING OLD! – for me, but on a lovely spring day it is a very pleasant place where you can sit on the grass, watching the ducks swim by and people trying to navigate rowboats Mr. Darcy style.


I love Melbourne and I love spring, so all in all it was a pretty rad day.

5/5 sunny bike rides
