We are lucky enough to live just up the road from some beautiful walking tracks. The Red, Blue and Green arrow trails wind through the Mt Whitfield Conservation Park; which is located centrally behind the Cairns Botanic Gardens. Mt Whitfield Conservation Park is a 300 ha forested mountain range covered in rain forest, eucalyptus and grasslands. There are stunning views along the trails and if you are observant, you can see local marsupials such as red-legged pademelons and echidnas.
The Red Arrow Circuit is 1.3 km and takes less than an 1 hour return. It is forested, has some steep sections with two open viewing areas overlooking the city and north towards the airport.
The Blue Arrow Circuit is 5.4 km and takes 4 hours return. It is a rugged bush track with steep climbs.
The Blue Arrow Circuit is 5.4 km and takes 4 hours return. It is a rugged bush track with steep climbs.
The Green Arrow is another steep 3 km track which starts towards the top of the Blue Arrow loop and branches off toward Brinsmead ending in Whitfield.
Inspiration to train for our next challenge!
