Narrabundah Hill Circuit

Narrabundah Hill Circuit starts from Eucumbene Drive, Duffy, exploring the woodland around the hill, visiting the trig station on top and looping back to the roadside. As you hike along the path, the refreshing sound of water flowing downstream will complement the delightful views you’ll come across. And by any chance you’re around when the sun sets, you’re in for a treat. Remember to keep your dog on a leash if cattle are present. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
