Dandelion Drive (March 2024) |
||||
|
We explored the famous Dandelion Drive Circuit in March. This rare circular road is very popular with walkers but not drivers! It is situated between Kelletts and Wellington Roads just west of Napoleon Road. It is about 4.5km long so a circuit can be completed in about one hour. We began in Park Ridge Reserve on the northern side of the circuit and walked the entire length for the first walk of the month. On the second walk we explored inside the circle and discovered the 4 reserves. |
