About this event
Stroll and Sip - The Ladies' Track
When: Friday 27 March 2026 - 5:30 pm
Location: Castle Hill, Townsville
Leader: Luen
Grade: 3
RSVP: [email protected]
Join us for a relaxed Friday after-work wander up the historic Ladies’ Track on Castle Hill - with a small twist. Bring one drink in your pack and we will enjoy a quiet sip together at the top before strolling back down the road to the cars.
We were rained out last time and cut it short, so hopefully this time we have better weather.
We will meet at the Cutheringa Trailhead lower car park at 5:30 pm sharp and take the Ladies’ Track up. The climb is around 2 km and takes roughly 30 minutes, following restored stone stairs, timber steps, and a contoured path cut into the hillside beneath the lower cliffs. This track traces a historic WWII-era route once used to access the Pill Boxes.
The pace will be easy and social, with time to pause, take in the views and enjoy a golden-hour moment at the summit. After our drink break, we will descend via the road for a straightforward return.
Bring:
- One drink of your choice (can, bottle or flask)
- Water
- Comfortable walking shoes
- A head torch, if you have one, just in case
A short climb, good company, and sunset over Townsville - not a bad way to end the week.
