The National Arboretum

It's pretty well marked. Lleaving the info centre after paying your $15 .... oops did I mention you have to pay $15 to run this one, in my mind it was worth it, the trees they have and the care they take of them ... and of course the run... are all worth an investment... so anyway... after you leave the Info Centre, follow the green markers, there are plenty and you should have no trouble as you wind through the trees and the country and then climb!

You will climb all the way to a cool lookout with binoculars and you can see forever up there. After that, carry on along the ridge, past the exit for Yellow and Purple Tracks and in another couple of hundred metres the green marker will be on your left. Here you take a left turn down the hill.

At about 3.7km you will go through a gate - straight ahead of you is a Purple marker and Green to the right. At this point leave the Green Trail and take the Purple.... follow the Purple to just short of the Info Centre where you get to the gardens and a gravel road. Take a left and you will see more purple markers... follow these. In a while you will come to a sign in the shape of a bird next to another sign saying "Extended Yellow & Purple Walk". Head through that gate and commence climbing back to the lookout.

Just after the Lookout this time take the Yellow/Purple trail to the left. Follow Purple until you get back to the point where you split from Green earlier. Hop back on to Green and follow the markers to the finish.
