Terrain information

The walk will be about 60% off track. There are some steep ascents and descents and although most of the area has relatively open forests, there will be some thickish scrub in places. Long trousers may be advantageous. There will be no potable water available during the day, so it will be necessary to carry water for the whole day.

Transport information

We will leave Canberra mid-afternoon on Monday 22 May, nominally about 2pm although we can be a little flexible about this. Travel time, including putting in the water drop is about 3h30m. Transport Cost: $220 per car.
