RAMSAR Wetlands and Upper Ginini Falls, Mt Franklin and the westernmost point of the ACT
Sat 07th Mar 2026
Bookings available to active members only.
Drive to the Mt Ginini car park above the RAMSAR listed wetlands. Visit Upper Ginini Falls (for a geocache). Walk the edge of Ginini Flats, Morass Flats and Cheyenne Flats. On regaining the Mt Franklin Road, visit the Duntroon ski lodge site and Mt Ginini. Drive back along the Mt Franklin Road to the Mt Franklin car park. Skip up to Franklin trig and down to the Austin A40. Back at the car park, off-track to visit the westernmost point of the ACT. It’s been some time since I was in this area so expect the unexpected. Around 14km and 550vm. Your footwear and gaiters must be spotless and we’ll use a bleach bath. Limit 8. A long drive of 1hr 30mins each way, 130km round trip, so a long day.
