With that in mind, we should finish the walk by lunchtime and hopefully avoid any unpleasant weather later in the day. From Palmerville Heritage Park we follow a track towar ds the Barton Highway. We then follow a bike path for a short distance u ntil we reach the entrance to Gungaderra Grasslands Nature Reserve. This reserve is a very attractive area and we walk through Yellow Box - Red Gum woodland as well as Natural Temperate Grasslands. It is the habitat of the striped legless lizard, the golden sun moth and the perunga grass hopper - but must admit I haven't seen any of the aforementioned when I have previously visited the area..... After we have done a rough figure eight loop, we return the same way to Palmerville Heritage Park. There a re a couple of gentle climbs involved - including Spiders Hill - but the y are only for a short distance. Bring morning tea with you but there is no need to bring your lunch as we should be back to the starting point by then. Meet: 8.30am Palmerville Heritage Park which is opposite the Be lconnen Soccer Club on Owen Dixon Drive, McKellar. There is plenty of pa rking , but be aware that there is major roadwork in the area with the d uplication of Gundaroo Drive. Access to the parking area is still availa ble. Weather Forecast: See above....
