Walk from Mountain Creek car park on the footpad to Snowy Corner. This is a very steep 540 m ascent in just over 2 km. It can be very hot if the sun is out. We then follow the Tidbinbilla ridge south to Mount Domain on a combination of footpad and off track. From Mount Domain's summit continue south for almost a kilometre then descend steeply off track on an ill defined spur north-east to Ashbrook Trail which is followed back to Mountain Creek. Distance of 12 km and a total climb of just under 900 m. A combination of track, footpad and off track with patches of thick scrub and rock scrambling. Suitable for fit, experienced off track walkers. Bring plenty of water.

Drive: 65 km, $10 per person. Note: Tidbinbilla entry fee applies
