Walk

No bookings required for Wednesday Walks

This walk honours Bob Dewar who led many Wednesday Walks. One of Bob's favorite destinations was Pig Hill off Mountain Creek Rd. Unfortunately, farmers are making it inconvenient to reach Pig Hill so this walk will cover the landscape immediately to its south with views towards Pig Hill and memories of Bob. We will start at the Sherwood Rd carpark off Mountain Creek Rd and climb up to Dowling Trig for our first views. We will drop in on Sherwood Homestead to see if any daffodils are left, and then make our way via fire trails and bush bashing up to Genges Trail in the Brindabella National Park. We will walk along Genges Trail to the Lower Tumut powerline easement and then down to Two Sticks Rd, and weave our way back to the car park via a little bash around Two Sticks Hill.
