Sphinx Rock Circuit

1 h 45 min to 2 h 45 min

Starting from The Springs picnic area on Pinnacle Road, Wellington Park, this circuit walk takes you to Sphinx Rock via the Lenah Valley Track, then loops back to the start via the Lower/Upper Sawmill and Organ Pipes tracks. Sphinx Rock offers you rewarding views of Organ Pipes, the city and Derwent River. Just make sure you don't slip and fall whilst admiring the views. After soaking in the views, you can give the Rock Cabin side trip a chance if you fancy historic stone structures. Wildflowers blanket the area from late winter to spring. Keep an eye out for closures due to snow. Also, the weather can change dramatically in a heartbeat, so be prepared. Lower/Upper Sawmill tracks are rocky and can be slippery (icy in winter, wet-muddy otherwise). 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.
