"SLC-S25/W3 | Community World Tour: Landscapes & Sacred Sites"

Hello beautiful Steemians,

Today, I am going to show you my journey in this contest by @kouba01 I did today at Red Hill Summit Walk Canberra, the Capital of Australia. I would love to invite @yonaikerurso @jyoti-thelight and @ripon0630

Today I went for a bushwalk to soothe my nervous system and spirit with some beautiful nature balm.

The natural landscape felt so inspiring and alive that I created a gentle spoken poem as I walked, softly describing of all the things I noticed … birds, trees, water, the breeze and the signage boards of course

 

Narrative & Cultural Meaning

Redhill Bushwalk is one of the most visited walking trails in Australia where you can watch birds, see this one is looking at me but and wondering what I'm doing here on this foggy morning.

I feel as if these trees tare gonna talk any moment. Oh yes, they swing with the wind but it's their pleasure which they show in their own way.

I wanted to see blue sky but it's all misty. The leaves of these trees keep falling. But then they always get the new ones. The Red Hill is so green and beautiful which attracts everyone.

Story of the Red Hill Summit Walk Canberra

The story of Red Hill Canberra Nature Reserve is simple as it's located in main city. This grand Landscape is right within the main city which makes it well within the reach of locals. The famous trail is located just off Mugga Way close to my suburb Garran at a walking distance.

Locals as well as tourists visit Red Hill as a main lookout and the beautifull shaped building from the top. There is one restaurant Carousel that offers lunch, dinner and coffee to its visitors.

There are too few cities in the world with hill s within town and not a single one with as big as Red Hill Summit Walk. The place is paradise for bushwalkers in Canberra.

Starting Location as I approached the top I felt a bit disappointed as my favorite Carousel Complex, the main place where I sit for a while was deserted.

Then I saw a young man coming running along with his dog from the main walking area. I asked him, How come you're running on the main trail, he said you missed the fine print. it's been closed during the night but you can go during the day time.

Okay, so walked back and entered and headed up the hill. and as usual as I approached the top, the main area however there were too few people. One, it was a week day, two, it was peak working hours.

I guess the best time to walk here is on weekends but I wanted to submit this post today so I kept walking.

There is one thing I love about this walk there are no markers so I keep GoogleMaps on so I follow the right path.

Personal images

I looked at the Black Mountain and took couple of images.

But what discouraged me the signage spread out along the trail showing warning signs, removing weed, shooting and what not.

When I reached the starting point I saw the first signage which said not to enter but then even if I did not enter I walked down a little and started walking on the slope along the main walking trail.

Heading back towards the bottom. I saw this gentleman walking with his two dogs

Okay I did not spend as much time as I normally do as my favorite place for a coffee was not open. I did not go to the area where people spend time picnicking along with their family and friends.

I came back from this point and walked other side of the hill along the road and watched houses of Red hill suburb. I guess I missed a few famous points as I was alone and there were not many in the area.

Then I turned around and headed back and crossed these stairs leading to the road

and where I had shared my location so someone comes and picks me up. I stood there in front of the houses.and waited for maybe 3 minutes when my daughter picked me up.

I have been walking on this trail for a long time and find it easy with lots to see besides as I am busy with my projects and Steemit and don’t have much time so I love it here.

TYPE LESS SMILE MORE Phrase

For me a walk in the bush connects me with nature. It helps let off some steam. And when you notice the sounds coming from swaying trees, the birds, on the ground, trees and in the sky. I feel these trees talk to me. I walk right to the top a little exhausted but when I sit there for a while I feel as I am right in heaven.
