MEETING TIME AND PLACE: Please meet at the intersection of Beaumont Close and Guinness Place, Chapman, at 5pm for a 5:10pm departure.
WALK DETAILS: This walk crosses Cooleman Ridge and descends past the agistment paddocks to ascend McQuoids Hill. We will then walk across country to the knoll to the northeast enroute to the summit of Mt Arawang, then back along Cooleman Ridge to the starting point.
While the majority of the walk is on vehicle tracks, expect to encounter rough going on the ascent of McQuoids Hill and long grass and there will be a couple of fences to cross.
On this walk, we will enjoy fine views over the suburbs of Tuggeranong and Weston Creek, plus the rural areas westward to the Murrumbidgee River. Hopefully we will be blessed with a fine sunset over the Brindabellas.
We should finish by dusk, but please bring a torch along with drinking water.
