The beginning point of the walk will be at the Queens Road T&F office - colleagues will meet here at 10.30, and walk together through Fawkner Park to Gate D at the Royal Botanic Gardens. From there, the route will follow the Tan Track clockwise around the Gardens via the Observatory Gate, past the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Pillars of Wisdom, back to Gate D and from there back to the office.

The route is mostly flat, and the Tan is an easy walk with plenty of resting places and shade along the route. There are also restrooms and water fountains located at convenient intervals around the Tan and in the Botanic Gardens.
