This is a gorgeous walk along the St.Kilda beach to Ormond point where you can enjoy breathtaking views, past the Elwood Canals with their 'Twenty Seven Stories" comprising rows of interesting and unique handmade ceramic tiles set into the edge of the canal recording memories and anecdotes from some of Elwood's long term residents including Roslyn Blackman, Pauline Thompson, Don Taggart, Helen Graham and Katie Ragheb. These tiles were made by the artist Maggie Fooke.
