Tunstall Square




This is a lovely walk through the Boronia Grove Reserve and Koonung Trail, which run parallel to the Eastern Freeway.

It can be a bit tricky to get to the starting point of this walk, so follow these directions:
Drive from corner Wetherby Road and Tristania St. Go along Tristania St. and turn right into Leeds  St. , then drive along Leeds St. to the Boronia Grove Reserve to park your car here.

Join the Boronia Grove Reserve track heading east and follow the track, ignoring the turnoff to the foot bridge on your right.

Continue along the track through the tunnel  under  Blackburn Road and a further 300 metres to a track on the left. This is a small track between 2 houses, so be careful not to miss it.

Follow this track to Grevillia Road. Cross over Grevillia Road and join the track on the opposite side. Continue along this track to Tunstall Road. Continue up Tunstall Road to Tunstall Square. Toilets are on the right behind the shops. Stop at Tunstall Square for a coffee.

After coffee, head back down Tunstall Road until you meet the track. Turn left along the track to the footbridge across the freeway. Turn right and follow the track. This is now the Koonung trail on the other side of the Eastern Freeway.

Cross Surrey Road with care as there are no lights, and continue along the path to the footbridge. Turn right to cross the footbridge and turn left onto the walking path to  join Leeds St. and make your way back to your car.
