Trek to one of the Ginninderry Conservation Corridor’s many lookouts
Keen to stretch your legs?

The tracks offer a range of distances with option to suit various fitness levels, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
The Conservation Corridor is a Nature Reserve, so no pets are allowed.
Take the kids to Paddys Park
Parents know you plan your trip around playgrounds, not pit stops. Paddys Park is one of the best, with a slippery dip, climbing ropes, and a mini obstacle course. It’s also right by a multi-use sports court, and cricket nets for the tweens and teens. Let the kids wear themselves out before you jump back in the car.
Sit back and recharge at Cafe Stepping Stone
Need to refuel more than the car? Cafe Stepping Stone in Strathnairn is known for keeping the locals happy, with its unique vegetarian menu and spectacular setting. Try their scones with jam and cream, ricotta pancakes, or an egg and halloumi roll.
There are juices, milkshakes and smoothies for the kids, and plenty of caffeinated options for the adults. The cafe also provides inclusive employment opportunities for migrant and refugee women from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. They’re open Wednesday to Sunday from 9 am till 4 pm.
Be inspired by a stroll through Strathnairn Arts
Home to a range of unique handmade works by local artists and makers, Strathnairn Arts is the ideal spot for a stroll. Set in a converted 1920s homestead, the gallery, shop and cafe boast stunning views of the Brindabella Mountains.
