DESCRIPTION:**No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks** This
  Easy to Medium graded walk will be led by John Kelly (0400 581 303) on 
 behalf of the Brindabella Bushwalking Club The walk to historic Nil De
 sperandum is on a combination of walking track, fire trial in about equ
 al parts and short section of bush bashing. Starting from the Visitors C
 entre we initially walk on track, up the valley, through open grassland,
  then shrublands, and woodland down to the Tidbinbilla River bridge. Fro
 m there we walk on a combination of walking track and steepish fire trai
 ls to a lookout overlooking the Tidbinbilla Valley for morning tea. We t
 hen head to the historic Nil Desperandum for lunch at the homestead if 
 unoccupied, or in the garden if it is.  Following lunch, we'll do an op
 tional 20 minute circuit in the vicinity of the homestead to take in the
  eucalyptus distillation site and the camellia garden. We'll return to t
 he Visitors Centre via a slightly different route which will take us alo
 ngside the rock wallaby enclosure and a possible wet crossing of the Ti
 dbinbilla River downstream of the bridge, a bush bash back to the main t
 rack and to the cars.  The distance covered will be about 15km with an 
 altitude gain of about 450 metres.  Please bring warm/wet weather gear,
  hat, and water. Long pants, gloves and gaiters may prove useful for the
  short bush bash section of the walk. Meet at the Lanyon Marketplace nea
 r Maccas for a 8:30am departure or at the Tidbinbilla Visitors Centre at
  8:50 Transport: $5 per person for 36km return journey. Weather Forecast
