Timeline

    Luna Park

    Walk the perimeter of Luna Park before it opens. The historic mouth entrance is quiet, and the wooden rollercoaster tracks stand stark against the early sky.

  2. 06:41

    St Kilda Beach

    Move to St Kilda Beach to find a clear view of the horizon. The sand is cool and empty, perfect for watching the sun crest the water.

    Cafe Safi

    Head to Cafe Safi for a quick coffee and breakfast. It opens at 06:00, so you can warm up and refuel just as the morning light settles.

  4. 07:31

    St Kilda Botanical Gardens

    Finish your morning with a slow stroll through St Kilda Botanical Gardens. The gardens are an oasis of tranquility, and the morning light filters beautifully through the established trees.
