Daily walk

I take great pleasure in walking along the river on the walking track. This daily ritual soothes the soul and provides the opportunity to debrief the day, converse with my partner and enjoy the best that nature has to provide.

I would love to see regular maintenance to the track and the river bank. The river has so much potential, please clear away some of the scrub and overgrown vegetation and let the Mitchell shine.

New toilets, a BBQ area and play equipment would create a vibrancy and hum to the area. Increased usage would assist with safety in the area.

Looking forward to your masterplan.

Bairnsdale parkrun is our weekend starter

Since its inception in our town, the Port has been home to Bairnsdale parkrun. Every Saturday we gather under the shelter for morning briefing. Milestones are shared and stories are told. It is a community event each week that brings us together. I started as a solo parkrunner and regular volunteer. Now every week even my four year old runs the river (she achieved her own milestone today!) and I am a RD for Bairnsdale parkrun. It is a place where my family starts their weekend and enjoys the company of others.Unfortunately, the site itself could do with a face-lift…

Port of Bairnsdale

Every Saturday morning at 8am we meet down the Port of Bairnsdale for Parkrun. sometimes I run, sometimes I walk and sometimes I volunteer. It’s a great community, pet friendly and all inclusive. And a beautiful place to walk / or run !
