Granite Tors Hike - NNP 40th Celebration

Sun 06th Oct 2024

Completed
Walk

CBC has been invited to contribute 4 walks to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the declaration of Namadgi National Park.

These are public facing events - the ACT Government will advertise them and handle bookings from the public.

2 activity leaders (and the activity owner) are needed to provide guidance and assistance to attendees. Please only book on this trip if you are a CBC leader.

Drive around 35km south through Namadgi National Park to the site of the former Orroral Valley Tracking Station. A very steep walk on refurbished Grade 4 track through tall forest and granite boulders to views of the Orroral Valley from the former geodetic observatory. A special surprise on the return as the track wends its way through massive tors. Around 8km return, 400 vertical metre climb and 4+ hours, suitable for fit adults accompanying children over 12. Opportunity to stay on and explore the tracking station site.
