Along Ithaca Creek

8.4 KM
Altitude Gain 112 M
Average Time 2 HR

This walk, while quite long, does not feature the challenging gradients that abound in some others in this district and so would be more suitable for running for those with that inclination.

Simpsons Road and Upper Ithaca Creek

7.2 KM
Altitude Gain 153 M
Average Time 2 HR

An interesting trip although necessarily sedate and deliberate due to the steepness of the serpentine track and the narrowness of the roads.

Old Ithaca

5.5 KM
Altitude Gain 122 M
Average Time 2 HR

On this walk you will pass some of the prominent landmarks of the old Division of Ithaca, first proclaimed in 1879 but later becoming a shire and then a town before being subsumed into the City of Brisbane in 1925. Its boundaries were reduced somewhat over time but always included Red Hill and large parts of Milton, Paddington, and Bardon.

Three Churches and some local history

7.5 KM
Altitude Gain 194 M
Average Time 2 HR

This walk is as close to circular as the topography of this district will allow. However, its achievement does require considerable changes in elevation with some steep inclines to be negotiated.

Let’s go

West Ashgrove, schools, historic houses and Enoggera Creek

8.2 KM
Altitude Gain 155 M
Average Time 2 HR

This walk begins with a familiar walk along Fernberg Road and then the ascent of MacGregor Terrace to the junction with Jubilee Terrace. Rather than taking that road, enter Northam Avenue taking the northern side of the divided road and a little way along you will find a steep staircase that takes you down to a delightful, shady gully between the backs of yards facing on one side onto Northam, and on the other, onto Coopers Camp Road.
