So, we walked the moderate track around the the mountain. It didn't feel moderate to me. The last 4-500 meters back to the top of the mountain were extremely tough, not well defined by any stretch of the imagination. Although most of the track is well laid out and maintained, the end is a dogs breakfast. It would have been a much more pleasant walk if the end trail was cleaned up and made a little easier to navigate.

It was a misty afternoon with a bit of a drizzle going on, but still very pleasurable. We drove in from Logan road. and park at the first park on the left.

The last option has a lookout towards the South after about 750m. We took the steep option, which proved a great little work out. The views of the city to the North are amazing.

It is possible to spend 11/2 to 2 hours of steady walking. A great experience on a Sunday...
