Walk to Trig Point, Mt Connie.
Head up the hill from the house to the end of the road where the transmitting station is. Walk to the left of the station and follow the wire fence straight up to the top. It is a very STEEP AND SLIPPERY walk but a good work out of you are feeling up to it and have sturdy shoes on. It takes roughly 10 minutes to reach the top to enjoy the views.
