Strickland - Arboretum Loop (2.3km)
Elevation change: Up 40m, Down 40m
This is a lovely walk to do in the afternoon as it is quiet short and captures the last of the light as it is on the ridgeline. You can continue onto the ecovillage for a coffee at step 5, just check the opening hours first, here is a link to the google business profile for the Narara Eco Village Coffee Cart. When writing this the opening hours were 9am - 2pm Tuesday - Saturday.
