This is a good track for fitness. There's only a few flattter or slight downhill parts on the way up (which feel so good). Works hamstrings and calves on way up, and quads on way down 1 hr 15 mins up (ish) 55 mins down (ish) My 12 yr old son only whinged a bit on the way down, that's because it can be a little bit slippy underfoot On a good day the views are really good

Thank you Simon for a great intro to the game with the lesson and wonderful green to play. We did the 9 hole terrace course which was stretching for beginners but kept it fun and challenging! Fantastically priced and stunning grounds. Only thing to let it down was the food, but you don’t go to a golf course for lunch!

We took the bus 110 and then walked to the Cannon Point Walkway. you will pass some residence area. We just walked till Birchville Dam as it would be family family. flat and easy. You can go and return in about 1 hours if you walk and enjoy the view in a comfortable pace. Once you arrive the entrance, you can see the swinging bridge. It isn't long but swing quite a lot when you walk. Children would find it is exciting. In the way to the dam, you will cross a few more wooden bridges. The view is nice. You would feel walking inside a forest. the sound of the stream calm you down. The dam doesn't work anymore so you will see a concrete wall instead of a dam. however, the view from the top is still nice in my opinion. It is worth to go! Next time, we might keep walking and till the top of the hill. Beware some trails would be more advanced that might not be suitable for everyone! No toilets in the middle so you better go beforehand. Bring enough water or some snack with you if you want to explore more after the dam.
