Description

Having placed a second car on the top of Mt Ainslie, we made our way to the carpark off Mackenzie Street in Hackett where the walk began. We first made our way up to the summit of Mt Majura via formed trails. Retracing our steps almost to where the walk began, we went bush for a while to take a shortcut through to the nearest formed trail which we followed for a while before heading bush again to climb Mt Ainslie. While this was steep, it was relatively easy going. We reacquired the formed trail near the summit of Mt Ainslie where our walk ended.
