Evening summer time stroll – Farrer Ridge and Wanniassa Hills Nature Reserves
Tue 20th Dec 2022
Meet at 6.00pm in the car park off Athllon Drive at the north-west entrance to the Farrer Ridge Nature Reserve. Take the next turn in left to an informal car park after crossing Beasley St going south. We’ll walk a few of the management trails and open spaces of Farrer Ridge NR, including Farrer Hill for views. We’ll exit via the scrubby southern face, then under Erindale Drive to take fire trails to Mt Wanniassa. Around 8km and 300vm climb. Bring a head torch. No need to book, but appreciate it if you do. Help a pedantic pensioner walk in all 39 of the CNP Reserves. Sunset at 8:17pm, civil twilight (just see) 8:47pm.
