[1][2][3] The path starts in the north, at the northeast corner of Yallambie Road and Greensborough Highway.

Heading south it passes by the west side of the Simpson Army Barracks in Watsonia, crosses Lower Plenty Road and then crosses Banyule Road and heads downhill past a stand of river red gums, crosses Buckingham Street and continues past Banyule Theatre (Viewbank College).

Further along it passes Warringal Park on its west side and then intersects the Yarra River Trail.

People coming from the south along the Yarra Trail should turn right (east) 130 m after crossing the canal at the end of Plymouth Street, near the Banyule Tennis centre.

A quick diversion down Buckingham Street (250 m) also leads to the Yarra Trail.
