Starting from the car park of Majors Road, O'Halloran Hill, this circuit track gives you a taste of O'Halloran Hill Recreation Park (part of Glenthorne National Park- Ityamaiitpinna Yarta) via 50 Shades of Clay & Frogger tracks. This loop offers a great experience for horseback riders, mountain bikers, and bushwalkers alike. Beautiful grey box eucalyptus and river red gums are sprinkled along the trail, from which you can get great views of the city and coast. Walkers and bikers usually give way to horses, while cyclists give way to walkers. Dogs are welcome but must be kept on a leash. The mobile phone coverage is generally good in the park. However, the trail can get very muddy after rainfall. 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.
