Day for sitting next to the river

#Melbourne #Winter #YarraRiver

We walked 10km along the Yarra today. It was a few kilometres further than I had intended but I hadn't taken into account a 3km bulge in the walk because of the bendy, wendy Yarra River.

This week was the first week I have done exercise since my surgery four weeks ago. I did two walks of about 2.5 km each this week as well as this long one. I have definitely lost fitness but I am pleased that I have been able to do this much.

The weather is glorious in Melbourne today so it was a great day for it. I have now walked the Yarra from Docklands to Fairfield. When the weather gets warmer I must get my bike fixed and start riding the Yarra River and Gardiner's Creek bike trails.

Program: Blue Lake – finding Dudley Flats
(28 minute listen)
Blue-coloured acid sulfate soils, known as #CoodeIsland silt, are the chief geological feature of the #Yarrariver delta. The silt formed the lake bed and hung in suspension in the water, making it a striking blue.
