Gungadera Grasslands and Mulanggari Grasslands Nature Reserves

Canberra Nature Park – a breath of fresh air for busy walkers. There are 39 Nature Reserves in the Canberra Nature Park. Or, the 39 step(pe)s. How many can we walk in? These are numbers 7 and 8. I haven’t walked in most of these areas before.
From the Gungahlin Hill car park on the southbound Barton Highway, walk tracks through woodland and slashed routes through grasslands to Spiders Hill. Then north to the edge of Palmerston and across Gungahlin Drive to visit Thomas Gribble’s ‘The Valley’ ruin. Walk clockwise around Mulanggari Grasslands. Visit Gubur Dhaura, a Ngunnawal ochre ground site celebrating indigenous culture. Return west across the southern edge of Palmerston and south to climb Gungahlin Hill through woodland. Around 14km and 200vm climb. Meeting time and place advised after bookings close. photo | view NE from Spiders Hill
