We'll briefly walk the Bicentennial National Trail (BNT). Once at the foot of Mt Stranger we'll leave the BNT to ascend to the trig on Mt Stranger where we'll enjoy the views of Bonython, southern end of Greenway, Urambi Hills, Mt Taylor and beyond, as well as great view of the Murrumbidgee River valley. After a brief stop, we'll then descend Mt Stranger to head back across some grasslands to join the walking track to Point Hut Crossing.
