Description

This walk had the same destinations as the walk completed on 20 November 2018 (link), but started from a different point and took a different route. 

We started from the carpark near the ACT Scouts Branch Head Office off Kitchener Street between the suburbs of Hughes and Garran. We walked around the Federal Golf Course to the north before heading east, crossing the road the the Federal Clubhouse and climbing Red Hill. Following the ridge line, we reached Davidson Hill and stated to descent down its south side. We turned west onto the West Powerline Trail before heading back around the base of Davidson Hill and Red Hill and back around the Federal Golf Course.
