Tuggeranong Hill Track

Starting from Weavers Crescent, Theodore, this walk explores the Tuggeranong Hill Nature Reserve leading via a fire trail up to the summit of the hill and back. Reachable without much effort, this can be a quick little escape out to nature for you and your dog. A bargain of a walk considering how good the Brindabella Range looks from the top. Also as you make your way up the hill, be prepared to be welcomed by a purple blanket of Cardoons during spring, shame they are a weed, they can be very spectacular. Keep in mind that the trail can be 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.
