Farrer Hill Trail

Farrer Hill Trail is a circuit walk starting from Muresk Street, Farrer. This walk takes you through the Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve, a pet-friendly (on lead), secluded location that serves as a green belt between suburbia. There is a bench at the top of the hill where you can get panoramic views over Tuggeranong and the Brindabellas. You can even spot the Telstra Tower in the distance. Keep an eye out for galahs and finches as you enjoy the scenery. Keep in mind that the reserve is home to the endangered Yellow Box-Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland. Also, you have a good chance of having the whole place to yourself. 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.
