Herring Island, June 2015

On a freezing winters day, 25 more-or-less crazy 4th Williamstown Sea Scout members headed into the wind and up river in search of Herring Island... This is their story.

28km return trip by water

17 bridges

12°C

Accessible only by boat, Herring Island in the Yarra River is just 3km from the city. The park is a haven for nature and art lovers alike. Environmental sculptures made from natural materials reflect the island’s tranquil setting.
