Description

This walk began at the dirt carpark on Dryandra Street about 400 meters from the Macarthur Avenue roundabout. We followed a clockwise route along various paths taking in O'Connor Ridge and Lyneham Ridge and involving two crossings of Gininderra Drive. It wasn't particularly scenic, apart from a frog-filled dam not far from Gininderra Drive (see route map above).

Nevertheless it was a pleasant enough walk and some good exercise.
