Hawthorn East - Monash Clayton via Sth Princes Hwy  
by clarebear

The way points of this bicycle route:

Hawthorn East

First section goes through back streets to get from Camberwell Rd to Tooronga Rd

Tooronga Rd is mostly downhill and there is a bike lane. The end closest to Toorak Rd gets busy in the morning with school traffic

Glen Iris

The railway crossing can be quite a busy intersection so be careful

Turn left into Malvern Rd

The traffic can bank up quite a bit here in the mornings. The centre lane is actually the lane for going straight ahead but be careful moving into the centre lane.

There's a bit of a hill up to high street but it comes after a downhill section so just make sure you pick up lots of speed on the downhill

Malvern East

This intersection is tricky and busy. You need to be in the right hand lane at the Waverley Rd intersection so that you are then in the right hand turning lane to turn into Belgrave Rd.

Belgrave Rd is uphill to Princes Hwy. It's not particularly steep but it is a longish incline.

Murrumbeena

Pick up speed going downhill to make the uphill section to Poath Rd easier.

Oakleigh

Turn right into the slip Rd that goes beside Warrigul Rd. The road veers around to the left under Warrigul Rd and towards Oakleigh Station

Be careful of the buses here. Go through the roundabout, down the road towards Oakleigh Shopping Centre carpark and then turn right into the Station carpark

At the end of the carpark you will see a little path into the bike track that goes alongside the railway line

Follow the railway line path all the way to Huntingdale Station

Huntingdale

Turn left into the station carpark and out onto Huntingdale Rd

Turn onto North Rd

There is a bike lane in the centre median strip that can be used if North Road is busy. However, North Road also has a dedicated bus lane which provides some protection for bikes from the traffic. It can be a bit scary when a bus goes past though.

This is a bit uphill

Steep but short hill up to Monash University
