An easy hike on the north side of town. POIs include the Osage-orange trees, lockspits on the ACT border straight line, West Belconnen pond. The pièce de resistance is the West MacGregor 2 Odour Control Unit 🤮. We cross Ginninderra Creek and also visit the confluence of Ginninderra and Gooromon Ponds Creeks. Around 16km and 200vm mainly on walking tracks.
Are you a list ticker? I am! Our Parks and Conservation Service list 66 trigs on public land in the ACT and 39 Nature Reserves in the Canberra Nature Park. Most are quite easily accessed. Over the next several months I will plan and lead a number of trips to these locations for our mutual list ticking enjoyment. I’ll even keep our records. Handsomely illuminated (digital) certificates will be issued at the end of the series 😂.
