We'll start our virtual walk at the Riverside Park picnic area, (across the road from the corner of The Boulevard and Fawkner Street in Essendon). 
The picnic area is pleasantly situated beside the river, amongst native and exotic trees. Picnic area, Riverside Park Essendon

You won't fail to notice the power transmission lines and pylons, which are somewhat jarring at first. But there's so much else to focus on that you'll forget they're there after a while.

In summer it takes on a more parched, but still attractive look.
