Sightseeing
If you head east on Mansfield street, in 2 km the road will dead end and turn into a bike path / footpath. If you head south along the river, you’ll be heading in the direction of darebin parklands. We used to go running and biking along this path, and recommend the area if you’re keen for some exercise.
