A great walk along the boulder strewn shoreline to the unnamed beach below Crackneck Lookout. Much of this walk is very exposed to the ocean and should not be attempted at high tide or during rough seas. Plenty of rock hopping over the boulders makes the walking harder but also makes the scenery more interesting. The shapes and textures in the rock, combined with the imposing hills and low cliffs of the coastline give quite dramatic scenery and atmosphere for the walk.

Starting from the car park near Mugga Way, Red Hill, this circuit walk gives you a compact tour of the southern side of Red Hill Nature Reserve, visiting Davidson Hill along the way. As you enjoy the views over Canberra throughout the track, a purple blanket of wildflowers may come into your view if you’re there in spring. Don’t fret if you can’t see any purple though, as there’s much more to the walk than the flora. Enjoy a meal at the Onred Restaurant, observe the city from the lookout points, take in the scenery and watch for kangaroos and birds as there are plenty in the reserve. The area tends to be busy on the weekends, so try to schedule it on a weekday if you want to avoid the crowd.
