A morning wander at Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve

A morning wander at Mt Ainslie Nature Reserve

Sat 09th Nov 2024

Completed

Part-day walk

Commencing from a footpad on the lower north western side of Mt Ainslie, it's not long before we enjoy some views as we climb up to an unnamed knoll at 770m. A good level of exertion to start with! Then, heading south westerly towards Mount Ainslie Drive, we make our way towards the Lower Beacon Track. Staying slightly lower on the western side of this track, we contour off trail through a lovely open woodland forest with rock formations, till reaching the East 132 Kava Track. Then, we link up with the Upper Quarry Track, various footpads and short sections off trail through open woodlands to complete a full circumnavigation of Mt Ainslie.
