This walk was organised, led and enjoyed by me as a private walk:

Walk for Uganda Recce - Heysen St/Devonport St Lyons to Parkway. Wander from home to the Heysen St/Devonport St elbow in Lyons. Follow walking tracks and bike paths along the E side of Oakey Hill, cross under Hindmarsh Drive, to Waldock St Chifley, under the Tuggeranong Parkway, then bike path on the W side of the Tuggeranong Parkway to Parkway on the corner of Tuggeranong Parkway and Sulwood Drive. A good friend will take me home at 8.30am.

Walk

A foggy morning, deserving gloves, beanie and thermals. Tried volleys - I'll need something with more of a heel for the walk, maybe sneakers. Wandered over the hill to Lyons, passing (passed by) walkers, joggers, cyclists. A busy time of the day. Then:

EXTRACT POINT - Elbow at Heysen St/Devonport St Lyons

From the gate into the Illoura Horse Paddocks, (CAREFULLY) cross Heysen St to the electricity substation and walk uphill for 30m to the horse step-through. Follow the service track along the west boundary fence of the substation, then along the east flank of Oakey Hill with the backs of the houses in Lyons on your left. Near the south-east flank of Oakey Hill, continue to follow the service track as it veers right, then down to Hindmarsh Drive. Use the underpass under Hindmarsh Drive. Continue up the concrete bike path, then veer right onto the dirt service track, then cut the corner along the dirt footpad. Gain the elbow in Waldock St Chifley.

EXTRACT POINT - Elbow in Waldock St Chifley

(CAREFULLY) walk the black-top for a couple of hundred metres, then right via the bike path and underpass under the Tuggeranong Parkway. Follow the bike path as it turns left along the west side of the Tuggeranong Parkway and the east side of the back of houses in Fisher. Be CAREFUL of bicycles. Follow the bike path to the corner of the Tuggeranong Parkway/Drakeford Drive and Sulwood St. Turn right and enter the grounds of Parkway.

FINISH - Parkway cnr Tuggeranong Parkway and Sulwood Drive Kambah.
