This is a very pleasant and relatively easy walk connecting some well known nature parks in a 14km loop. We’ll start our walk in Kambah, then walk around the base of Mount Taylor, cross over to Fisher via the parkway underpass to make our way through to Fisher Parklands, then it’s over to Mount Arawang where we’ll follow some firetrails around the base before walking to the top for some nice views of the surrounding area. After this, we’ll continue into the Cooleman Ridge Nature Reserve to walk around the base of McQuoids Hill and make our way back to the start through Kambah via some lovely green corridors.
