Tracing the Yarra
The Yarra Trail is one of Melbourne’s most unique places. This picturesque stretch of bushland continues to inspire and draw in a stream of adventurers and visionaries. From the Yarra Bend golf course to the bucolic bliss of the Collingwood Children’s Farm, Studley Park House to Heide Museum of Art, the Yarra remains the lifeblood of the city – and the Walmer apartments represent one of the last opportunities to live in the midst of this remarkable stretch of Melbourne parkland.
