Keep Moving Walk 5: Rushall To Ceres (Merri Creek)
This walk starts at Rushall Railway Station, and heads upstream for about 2.5 km to CERES Environmental Centre. This is a good way-point, either for a pause for coffee and other facilities, or as an end point. From CERES, it is about 600 metres east along Arthurton Rd to St Georges Rd trams, or another 500 metres to Northcote Railway Station and High St trams.
The trail is all on sealed or concrete surfaces, and mostly quite level for easy walking (or cycling).
From Rushall Station, firstly head west along the Capital City Trail for about 500 metres, then turn right following the trail downhill and over the bridge crossing the Merri Creek. From there, the trail heads along adjacent to Merri Pde to St George’s Rd, where you follow the Merri Creek Trail signs, crossing Merri Creek again on the road bridge and then heading down onto the edge of the creek to continue on towards CERES. The trail passes under the Arthurton Road Bridge and a side track leads up to CERES gardens and cafe area
Walkers can either continue up the creek trail or walk back to Arthurton Rd and eastwards along the road to St Georges Rd and High St.

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.
