👍👍 We did the hike in Sturt Gorge Recreation Park last Saturday. It was a bit drizzly in the morning, but the color in the park got so much more vivid because of the grooming weather. We took our cat Parker with us this time. He loved being in the wilderness! We had him on a leash where he was walking...

👍👍 Some great hiking and mountain bike trails. The Seaview loop has awesome views over the city.

👍👍 The tower has got a stunning view from the top. It'll take some effort to go through all the stairs and to the top of the tower, but the nice view is definitely worth it. If you are planning to visit it during autumn or winter, be prepared for strong cold winds.
