Brandy Flat carpark to Glendale Drystone Walls via Brandy Flat and Half Moon Fire trails.

Completed

Walk

***** BOOKING NOT NECESSARY FOR WEDNESDAY WALKS *****
This walk starts at the Brandy Flat Walking Trail carpark and follows the gentle footpad to an uphill ascent on the Brandy Flat and Half Moon Creek fire trails to gain most of our elevation before we head west off-track above the Namadgi Park Boundry to reach the somewhat mysterious drystone walls. The age and purpose of the walls is not known – suggestions include shelter for shepherds, a sheep pen and even a fortification for bushrangers! After a rest with time to explore the area, we will commence the downhill bash back to the car park.
The downhill terrain is initially difficult to avoid ravines and steep slopes by negotiating some tight scrub – but we will essentially head straight back to the cars.

Meeting Time and Place: Kambah Village Shops, meeting at 8.00 am for an 8.15 am departure.
