DESCRIPTION:We follow a fire trail to the SE to meet up with the Bradley
 s Creek Walk. After a short while we go off-trail to enter the Cuumbean 
 NR proper. We descend a spur to the NW to Valley Creek and then follow t
 he contours of Valley Creek NW crossing varies gullies and creeks and as
 cending and descending several spurs and knolls before a steep climb NE 
 to join the Queanbeyan River Trail. We have a brief respite from off-tra
 il walking as we follow this trail to the SE prior to descending towards
  Valley Creek via various ridges, spurs, and gullies. One last steep asc
 ent to the SW, a ridge line and descend to the W to connect once again t
 o Bradleys Creek Walk. We have a side trip to take in the Googong Dam an
 d then join the Black Wallaby Loop Track to return to our start. The wal
 k will be predominately off-trail, criss-crossing the undulating landsca
 pe with some steep sections and rocky/grassy slopes and creek lines that
  are slippery and/or unstable under foot with varying thickness of veget
 ation from open woody grasslands to moderately thick scrub. Walking pole
 (s) might be useful at times and gaiters and/or long pants a must to pro
 tect legs. The linear distance of 12.5km with an adjustment for elevatio
 n gain of 600m makes this equivalent to a 18.5km track walk. Given the n
 ature of the terrain (surface, vegetation, steepness) and the length/ele
 vation gain/loss the hike is likely take approximately 5.5hrs to complet
 e and is best suited for walkers with a moderate level of fitness, who a
 re comfortable walking off track and have completed successfully at leas
 t one 12-14km hike in the past month. Nature Connection: This walk inten
 tionally balances social interaction with brief, guided periods of quiet
 , attentive walking and a short 'sit spot.' These moments are designed t
 o support a deeper engagement with the landscape. Conversation is warmly
  welcomed at all other times.
