Distance: 7km Difficulty: Easy to Moderate True, you can drive all the way, but walking to the top of Mount Thompson rewards you with a well-deserved view. Start on Scrubby Creed Rd/Thompson Tower Rd alongside the back fence of the Pet Boarding Kennels. Walk along Thompson Tower Rd. From the Pet Boarding Kennels, it is a total of 3.4km to the top of Mt Thompson. After about 2.9km you come to a fork in the road. Keep right. There is a moderate rise for the last 500m. Return the same way. Credit: Macleay Walking Trails by Christa Schwoebel and John Cruickshanks.
