Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre - free guided walks

Next date: Sunday, 01 February 2026 | 11:00 AM to 01:00 PM

On the first Sunday of the month, a Hobsons Bay Wetlands Centre volunteer will lead a walk around the Laverton Creek Estuary and Truganina Park. Learn about the area's rich biodiversity and history, and what makes wetlands so amazing. 

The walk will begin and end at the Truganina Explosives Reserve, 274 Queen Street Altona. The group will head off at 11am and return by 1pm.

Wear weather-appropriate clothes, sturdy footwear and bring a camera or binoculars if you have them. Children must be accompanied by a guardian.

Afterwards, enjoy the Truganina Explosives Reserve Open Day, which is held on the first Sunday of each month from 1pm to 4pm. Bring a picnic and enjoy the amazing gardens and learn more about Altona's history.
