Today we are walking around the outskirts of Kingston starting from the car park adjoining the Kingborough Sports Centre.
The walk starts by following a track alongside the Southern Outlet.
After passing under the Outlet we head towards Cades Rd.
We followed Cades Road until we joined the Pickett Hill Track where we had a view across the Derwent River on a very hazy day.
Acaena (Buzzy's) and Tasmania has seven species all natives. Lots of picking the buzzy's of our clothes during the walk.
Lunch spot with the buzzy's in the foreground.
After walking to the end of Pickett Hill track we followed Leslie Road then Parkdale Drive back to Pickett Hill which include a good view of Mount Wellington.
Heading back down towards Cades Road.
Following the Pickett Hill Track after leaving Hackforth Drive.
This section of the track was through forested land surrounded by residential properties.
Prickly Currant Bush fruit.
The Native Cherry Trees were laden with ripe fruit which distracted a number of the walking group.
Lunch spot just of the track in the shade.
Another hazy view across the river towards Opossum Bay.
After rejoining Hackford Drive we followed Old Summerleas Road and then followed Leslie Road and Roba Court before returning via the track under the outlet and back to the cars.
For our first walk in 2025 we had 13 walkers who covered 11.6 kms over 4 hours and 20 minutes.
All agreed it was a good introduction to 2025.
