Welcome to the 2019 Melbourne 36 Walk which this year will be in Collingwood. We’re meeting in Gahan Reserve right next door to Collingwood Railway Station on March 23rd. Collingwood has a vibrant street art, cafe, junk shop and bar scene which we’ll experience on the walk. We won’t return to this point so public transport is encouraged. You can find out more information about the 36 walk at https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/2019-Annual-36-Photowalk-Call-for-Leaders-Places/m-p/1263555#M274869
The Meetup route is finished at last! Its only a short one. Just under 6km and will range from suburban streets, riverside walking, through the Abbotsford Convent including a farmers market then onto some of the Street Art precincts finally finishing at The Evelyn Hotel. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AASeJRJa0jiWPgY_vm4vfArEr77WXcpf&usp=sharing
It’s been a couple of years since I took a walk through Collingwood. The suburb is vibrant and amazing. So many good Maps subjects because the shops there change continuously and plenty to experience besides taking photos. The area is extremely well populated with street art and little hipster cafes that I love plonking my very unhipster self into. I’m so unhipster I’m hipster lol.

Aha! Finally a Meetup in my lovely state that I actually saw in time! I almost missed it though if I didn’t do a thorough job looking though posts as I was only able to search via suburb, and not the entire state on the Meetup site.
Admittedly I have only checked the local guides forum extremity sparingly for the last two years as the few times I did check, nothing seemed to be going on or happening so I just stopped checking.
Thanks @PaulPavlinovich for taking your time to invest into Local Guides for everyone else!
It will be great to have you there @Dave247 I worked the route with a friend two weeks ago and there’s plenty of interesting things to look out for. Keeping it down to 36 may be a bit of a challenge I think :).
The dreary weather in the morning when I got up scared me off from comming thinking it would rain longer or just remain cloudy for most of the day. I regret it now seeing how it turned into another typical hot day.
No worries @Pgfrancis01 life interferes in fun sometimes. I’m sure I’ll see you on another walk soon.
@Dave247 that’s Melbourne - four seasons in one day. I was a bit concerned too given how cold and wet it was in the morning but by the time we stopped it was 34C and we enjoyed a dash of lubricant before making our separate (mostly) ways home.
