Description


This walk commenced at The Garran Shopping Centre. The first part of the walk was through suburban Garran Streets to Astley Place, where we were able to access the Red Hill Nature Reserve. Following tracks we ascended Davidson Hill which offered good views of surrounding Canberra.




Continuing on the ridge from Davidson Hill we climbed Red Hill before descending down its western side to the Federal Golf Club. We then did a loop around the Golf Club before returning to Garran Shops via Brereton Street.
