It is about 15 minutes each way (depending on your pace) to the Iluka Foreshore Park where you can turn arou

Maylands has a wide variety of urban art ranging from murals to sidewalk art. The Maylands urban landscape along Guildford Road is not particularly pretty but many of the older commercial buildings have had murals painted on their walls making the streetscape considerably brighter and more interesting.
