Red Hill Circuit

Starting from the main Mugga Way carpark near the intersection with Francis Street follow the main track up to Davidson Trig, with a possible detour to the reported site of the elusive Barnaby's Prayer Rock, Canberra's newest sacred site. From there continue to the highest point on the southern edge of the ridge near Hindmarsh Drive. The track then drops down and follows the edge of Garran before joining a bike track leading towards the Federal Golf Course. We then cross to the mobile phone tower and walk down the steep track at the Tardis and return to the car park.
