Starting from the Gate 1 car park on Ayliffe Road, St Marys, this walk takes you on a circuit withinShepherds Hill Recreation Park via the Ridge and Viaduct tracks. Shepherds Hill Recreation Park isa vast area of natural bushland adjoining the Waitparinga Reserve to the east and Saddle HillReserve to the north. It contains grey box woodlands on the hillsides and massive ancient gumsalong the Viaduct Creek. The area is a suburban goldmine, rich with native bird and plant life,sweeping views, and things to see and do. The Seaview Loop trail climbs steadily up hills to thesouth, rewarding you with panoramic views of the city, coastline and surrounding areas. This walkis popular with dog walkers and runners. The route is mainly on a wide fire trail, with some steepsections as you head towards the ridge. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodiansof the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
