Greenhill Summit Circuit

This circuit walk in Greenhill Recreation Park, starting from Thorpe Road, offers a beautiful and pet-friendly opportunity to enjoy the natural surroundings and stunning views of the quarry and city. The track consists mostly of a narrow path made of dirt and rocks, with foliage on both sides, making it necessary to walk in single-file. The walk is recommended clockwise, with the first part being quite steep, but the fantastic views are worth the incline for many. It can be very slippery when wet. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
