The Truganina Coastal Parklands are located 15 km west of Melbourne CBD, on the shores of Port Phillip Bay, stretching from Altona to Altona Meadows and adjacent to the Cheetham Wetlands and the Point Cook Coastal Park. They were formed through the 'recycling' of more than 300 hectares of parks and former industrial land and are now the largest cluster of parks on Port Phillip Bay, interlinked by cycling and walking trails and featuring a surprisingly high diversity and abundance of landscapes, natural environment and recreational areas, including beachside recreation, picnic & barbecue facilities, grassfields and wildlife conservation areas. The wetlands form part of the Cheetham and Altona Important Bird Area.

This looks like a great recreational area, from your description. Nice that they did something nice here for the public! A very interesting feature for All Seasons! Glad to have you aboard! Have a relaxing week (hope you also still get my emails where you have the setting on the google account, right? - Let me know if they are missing!)
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that these parks were created in part from industrial land - very encouraging. Thanks for sharing this with Mosaic Monday.
ReplyDeleteNice mosaic. I like the history of the parks.
