North Rob Roy and Tuggeranong Hill: A Wanderful Evening Celebration

Thu 28th Nov 2024

Completed
Part-day Walk

We leave the streets and houses below us as we climb up to the network of fire trails above Conder. We then skirt the northern reaches of the Rob Roy Reserve as we take the fire trails over toward the Monaro Highway, before turning around and heading west, then leaving the fire trail to climb some minor features that give us excellent views over Calwell and Theodore. And, I am told, on a clear day you can see the tip at Mugga Lane!

Heading further west on the fire trails we begin our ascent of Mount Tuggeranong (sometimes known as Tuggeranong Hill). On arrival at the summit, we will have a five minute breather as we take in the views. And, with some artful scheduling, we might be just in time to see a speccy sunset over the Brindabellas.

We then have a short spell of off-track as we descend from Mount Tuggeranong along a spur for several hundred metres, eventually joining another fire trail. We then turn to the east and begin wending our way back to the cars.

Bring water, a hat, sun cream and a torch.
Expect birthday celebrations too! Two walkers have birthdays. One on the day of the walk and the other a few days later. 🎂🎉

All walkers who have registered for this activity will be told if there is a cancellation.

MEETING PLACE: Jane Sutherland Street, Conder.
