Course Description
The Walk for Prems circles the picturesque Albert Park Lake, starting at the Palm Lawns near the historic pavilion. The route follows flat, paved pathways that hug the lake’s shoreline, offering uninterrupted views of water, swans and the Melbourne skyline.

Along the way you’ll pass open green lawns, shaded tree‑lined sections and iconic landmarks such as the historic lighthouse. The walk finishes back at the starting pavilion, where post‑walk entertainment and a remembrance ceremony await participants.
