One Tree Hill Track starts at the corner of Hall and Hoskins Streets in Hall, ACT, leading via the Canberra Centenary Trail to One Tree Hill Lookout, Gungahlin. Sitting on the seats provided on the lookout point, you’ll feel like you can see all of Canberra with the help of the 360-degree viewing angle. Sit there for a moment and take in the scenery, and maybe read the signpost and dive into the surveyors’ minds that used this very lookout point to examine the land long ago. Don’t forget to salute the kangaroos and hedgehogs you might run into along the way too. The trail may be muddy after rain, watch your step and bring some boots just in case. Also there are many mountain bikers using this route, so try to hike single file. 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.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
