    The walk is mainly alongside the historic Pettys Orchard, along mountain bike trails in Candlebark Park and along parts of the Main (River) Yarra Trail. The total distance is approximately 7.8 kms and covers a variety of terrain and scenery with some pleasant views of the Pettys Orchard and its surrounding countryside along the way. The walk is relatively flat and gentle for much of its length with three short but relatively easy ascents near the beginning/

    There are a number of interesting points of general and historical interest along the walk including the revamped Canoe Slalom viewing area on the Yarra River, the relocated River (aka) Apple Peel sculpture, indigenous Candlebark trees native to the area, the heritage-listed 'The Barn' building, the 110 year old Pettys Orchard with its heritage-listed apple varieties and the 100 year old heritage listed 'Worlingworth' property on the banks of the Yarra River.

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
