This is a lovely scenic walk through native bushland above West Hobart that climbs gradually through open forest with a few shady sections and past frog ponds to panoramic viewpoints near the summit. The track passes through diverse vegetation, with plenty of views across Hobart, the Derwent estuary, and kunanyi / Mount Wellington, making it a fantastic route to explore without travelling too far from the city.
