We start our walk at Dalsetta car park, Tidbinbilla. From here we walk up to Gibraltar Peak for morning tea and glorious views in all directions!! We will explore there for a bit, then make our way down along a VERY steep fire trail to the oft overlooked Mushroom Rock, also well worth exploring. We will return to the saddle near Gibraltar Peak and return to the cars via the stand of Xanthorrhoea.
