Curtin Southwestern Circuit

The Curtin Southwestern Circuit is a circuit walk starting from the Ron Reynolds Training Centre car park, Curtin. This walk is pet friendly and takes you through an urban landscape, so you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. Expect views of Mount Ainslie and Black Mountain on one side and the Brindabellas on the other. You will be minutes away from dog-friendly cafes throughout the journey. There are off-leash sections (informal), but heed the local signs at all times. Keep in mind that there is a small yet continuous elevation change along the track. 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.
