Ok, so I learned something new about Victoria. We were walking along Dallas Road on May 1, a surprisingly warm day amongst the cold ones we've been having, and I noticed this bump through the rooftops. I didn't know there was a small mountain in amongst the houses in Fairfield. Apparently, there is. Though, we didn't investigate further.

Once home, I found Moss Rock Park on Google maps where it looks pretty flat:
The following weekend, May 7, another reasonable day with hints of sun, I set out to discover this hill for myself. Turning off of Fairfield road onto Masters road leads to the dirt track beside the hill seen in the second picture below. However, there is no parking, so turn around and park find your way to May Street. There is no official steps or trail into the park from May Street, but there are a few beaten paths through the bushes and up the rocks.

It's a bit of a scramble up the rock, but the views are great.

Every neighbourhood needs a small mountain viewpoint in the middle, and this is Fairfield's hill.
