Western foreshore of Googong Dam - Easy/medium walk Wednesday 17 September 2025
Leader: Kathy Handel, contact: 0447289638, khandel@bigpond.net.au
Description: Walk from the Foreshores carpark along the Shoreline Walk to Shannons Inlet, then up a steep hill on fire trail. Continue south along an inland grassy track and then off-track to a high viewpoint. Work our way down to Wells Inlet (a walking pole might be useful) and continue to a headland for lunch. Return on fire trail and the Shoreline Walk. The lake shore and headlands are very scenic now as the lake is full and the wattles are in bloom.

Transport cost: nil
Weather forecast: 3 to 18 degrees, sunny.
