Starting from the car park near Mount Nelson Signal Station, Mount Nelson, this one-way walk takes you to Lambert Park, exploring the mostly open forest along the way. Embark on this little journey in-between suburbs and enjoy the silence and scenery the bush brings. The canopy gets thicker as you get closer to the end, leading to more shady and humid conditions. You can also take your dog (on leash) with you until the Enterprise Road intersection, which marks the point where the track gets relatively steeper. 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.
