Description
I started this walk on Springvale Drive near its intersection with De Salis Street where there is a bit of a car parking area on the Hawker side of the street. From here I followed a track around to the top of The Pinnacle, about 650 meters in elevation. There were some reasonable views over rural landscapes with parts of Canberra in the background.
From The Pinnacle I followed the track west until I came close to Kama homestead, coming across some more rural views towards the Brindabellas.
I then followed the track around in a loop to get back to my starting point, again passing through some very nice landscapes.
This is a very popular walking area, being right next to suburbia but feeling like you are in the middle of nowhere. I was lucky enough (possibly because it was a freezing cold weekday) to have the place almost to myself. A great short walk; the closest one to my home.
