Connections
The trail meets the Werribee River Trail in the west, at Werribee and provides access to the Princes Freeway at this point. Near Hoppers Crossing it intersects with the upper section of the Skeleton Creek Trail. 3.7 km west of Millers Road, it intersects the Western Ring Road Trail. It terminates at Millers Road in the east in Brooklyn near Altona North.
The Hobsons Bay Coastal Trail can be accessed from one of the roads coming off Millers Road, however the road sections here can be very busy and not suitable for inexperienced riders. Francis Street through Yarraville is one option, but dangerous as it is a major truck route. Blackshaws Road or Mason Street (has bike lanes) can be accessed via Marigold Street, Kyle Street/Mills Street and represent far safer alternatives to Francis Street. They pass through Altona North to Melbourne Road in Newport. Crossing the railway at Newport station to North Road or Hudsons Road via Spotswood station leads to the trail.
Another option of riding into the Melbourne City Centre is to leave the Federation Trail at Geelong Road and ride along the service lanes (and a pedestrian subway under the railway) to connect with one of the numerous paths or streets which go east-west through the Footscray area.

Famous quotes containing the word connections:
“The quickness with which all the “stuff” from childhood can reduce adult siblings to kids again underscores the strong and complex connections between brothers and sisters.... It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled. Our brothers and sisters bring us face to face with our former selves and remind us how intricately bound up we are in each other’s lives.”
—Jane Mersky Leder (20th century)
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
“Imagination is an almost divine faculty which, without recourse to any philosophical method, immediately perceives everything: the secret and intimate connections between things, correspondences and analogies.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
