DESCRIPTION:**No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks** This
  Easy to Medium graded walk will be led by Dave Abela (0482 802 050) on 
 behalf of the Brindabella Bushwalking Club. Shortly after the first Euro
 pean settlement of Queanbeyan in the 1820’s, Luke and Mary Colverwell 
 (both freed convicts), established a farm about 10kms outside of Queanbe
 yan and raised their large family. These were the beginnings of the loca
 lity of Glenburn, which grew into a small village community by the late 
 1800’s. By the early 1900’s though, it gradually faded away, mainly 
 due to the ravages of drought and rabbits. Today, there are still many r
 uins from that time including some of the cottages, plantings, graves, f
 arm machinery and small mines. Our loop walk will take us around these s
 ites, with many interesting information plaques along the way, providing
  excellent information and stories about the early European history of t
 his area. This is an easy 12km walk with gentle hills, mostly on fire tr
 ails with some sections of loose rocks. Some nice views over the upper M
 olonglo River too! Climb: 200m. Distance: 12 km. Total overall ascent: 2
 50m BBC Grade: Easy (7). Map: Bungendore 1: 25000 Weather for Wednesday:
