Description

This walk was almost identical to the one undertaken on 26 February 2019 (link). The walk started at the Aranda shops in Bandjalong Crescent and followed paths and vehicular trails to the top of Mount Painter. Leaving the summit we went cross-country and across Bindubi Street to follow a vehicular trail back into the Aranda Bushland. We found a walking track on the left that took us to the top of a hill from which point we headed back to the start point the way we had come.
