This walk aims to provide a little adventure while avoiding the worst of the summer heat. We will have an early start and aim to finish in time for people to be back for an afternoon at home. The walk starts from the Booroomba Rocks car park as if we were walking along the AAWT down to Bushfold Flats. After a short distance, we leave the AAWT and hug the southern slope of the Booroomba Creek valley which is the northern slope of Deadmans Hill. We traverse this slope off track for about a kilometer and then bash our way up to the summit of Deadmans Hill itself and back down its western ridgeline to the Booroomba Rocks car park once again. The summit ridgeline of Deadmans Hill is quite scrubby and slow going, but you win bragging rights for its conquest and every now and then we will be rewarded by unconventional views across to Booromba Rocks, down to Honeysuckle Creek and out towards the wilds of Namadgi. Hopefully this ridge will also provide a measure of shade and, at one point, we should be able to stop in a small cave for a rest.

Bring gaiters, sunglasses and safety glasses, water, and sufficient food for a couple of snack stops.

Meet at Lanyon Marketplace behind McDonald's to leave at 7:15am.
60 Km - $27/car or $9 per passenger for three passengers.
