Wed walk BBC sponsored 16 October
**Bookings not required for Wed Walks.** M/E walk – Warks Camp to Bendora Arboretum, Namadgi NP – 13 km (BBC 8) Leader: Peter Wellman (6288 5985). We leave cars at Warks Camp on the Benboora Road, and walk, using Warks and Wombat firetrails, to the arboretum for lunch. We return using Chalet, Moonlight Hollow, Gravel, and Warks firetrails. This area has one of the more beautiful forests of the Brindabellas because it is relatively wet with tall trees, and it was not burnt during the fires. The arboretum is the best remaining forestry arboretum. All on locked fire trails, none steep. The walk duration is about 6 hours. Map: Tidbinbilla. Total height to be climbed is 600 m. Cars: 94 km ($13). Meet at The Weston Creek Tennis Courts car park, in Dillon Close, which comes off Namatjira Drive directly opposite and north of McDonalds at Cooleman Court, leaving at 8:30. Those who are not members of CBC, BBC or NPA or who are doing their first medium-hard walk must contact the leader before the walk to discuss suitability, difficulty and other arrangements.
