DESCRIPTION:This hike explores the grassy woodlands and rugged terrain o
 f the Stoney Creek Nature Reserve, part of the Murrumbidgee River Corrid
 or. From the trailhead, we follow a management trail southwest into the 
 reserve before turning northwest to cross Stoney Creek. Beyond the creek
 , we traverse a series of knolls that provide expansive views across the
  Murrumbidgee River and the surrounding landscape. We then descend a ste
 ep spur to explore the open grassy woodlands below before following the 
 true left bank of Stoney Creek to the south west across a series of gull
 ies and spurs followed by a steep climb to the south leading to a pair o
 f scenic vantage points overlooking the Murrumbidgee River. The return j
 ourney passes through open grassy woodlands before re-joining a manageme
 nt trail back to the starting point. While the route incorporates sectio
 ns of defined trail, most of the walk is off-track across undulating ter
 rain with steep slopes and rocky or grassy surfaces that may be slippery
  or unstable underfoot. Walking pole(s) might be useful and gaiters and/
 or long pants a must to protect legs from injury. With a linear distance
  of approx.12.0km and an adjustment for elevation gain of 420m makes thi
 s hike equivalent to an on-track walk of 16.2km. The hike is likely to t
 ake 5.0hrs to complete at a steady pace and best suited for walkers with
  a moderate-to-good level of fitness, who are comfortable off track and 
 have completed successfully at least one hike of 12km in the past month.
  Nature Connection: This walk intentionally balances social walking with
  short, clearly defined periods of quiet, attentive mindful walking and 
 a brief sit spot to foster a more immersive experience of and a deeper e
 ngagement with the landscape. Participants should be comfortable with oc
 casional silence and willing to engage respectfully with this rhythm of 
 walking. Conversation is warmly welcomed at all other times.
