This walk, however, isn’t just along the water’s edge; it’s a suspended path that allows you to walk above the water. Along the way you'll get a taste for the lively entertainment and lifestyle precinct of The Howard Smith Wharves with great drinking and dining options, including Mr Percival’s and Greca Restaurant. In New Farm, you can indulge your sweet tooth at New Farm Confectionery and explore New Farm Park. Take the Riverwalk after dark to enjoy the shining skyline.
