Bookings not required for Wednesday Walks

Leader: Garry B (garry102@gmail.com) for CBC

A loop walk entirely off-track starting and finishing with a crossing of the Murrumbidgee River. We start with a rock hop across of the river, then head up an unnamed creek, followed by a steep climb to a high point on a spur. We then head north along the spur finishing with a steep, rocky descent down a spiny, razorback section, and recross the river back to the cars. The creek is stoney, with a little scrambling, a few patches of scrub and some lovely giant kurrajong trees. The spur is largely open forest, with tree-filtered views over Tuggeranong in places. Suggest bringing scrub gloves, gaiters, eye protection, water, morning tea, lunch etc. Opportunity for a refreshing swim at the completion of the walk.

Map: Tuggeranong 8727-3S 1:25,000
Meet: Kambah Village Shops leaving at 0800 am
Drive: 15km return, $7 per vehicle, about $1.75 each
Weather: Will most likely be warm to hot so bring plenty of water.
Note: If river is too high to safely cross, then alternate walk may be offered

Those doing their first Wednesday walk and also prospective walkers who are not members of the BBC, NPA or CBC clubs must contact the leader to discuss the level of difficulty of the walk.
