Mulligans, Sun Moth Hill, Centenary Trail - E-M Wednesday Walk #1 …. No Need to Book

Wednesday Walk - No need to register onto this walk
Please contact the leader if this is your first walk with the club.

Starting from Mulligans Flat Road on the edge of Bonner and Forde, we’ll head over to Sun Moth Hill to learn a bit about the Golden Sun Moth which is a vulnerable species in our region and is a key indicator of the health of our native temperate grasslands. From here we’ll make our way to the Northern Border Campsite via the Centenary Trail for morning tea and continue further along the border trail with NSW for several kilometres until we leave this trail and join several connected firetrials to visit some hills above the suburbs of Jacka and Bonner. A koala was recently spotted in the hills close to Jacka, so we’ll keep our eyes open…we might be lucky enough to see one! Our way back to the start of our walk will bring us closer to the suburban fringe on a mix of firetrails, single track and footpaths.
