E/M #2 Wednesday Walk – Cooleman Ridge Bicentennial Trail (BNT) to the Arawang Horse Paddock.
Wed 26th Aug 2026
Bookings available to active members only.
** BOOKINGS NOT REQUIRED FOR WEDNESDAY WALKS**
This walk will take us from Kathner Street in Chapman along the Cooleman BNT to the Arawang Horse Paddock for a break and return via the southern flank of Mt Arawang where we join the Canberra Centenary Trail which we follow back to the cars.
This gentle and peaceful walk rewards walkers with very broad uninterrupted views of the Brindabellas and adjacent rural properties and while the singing of angels is unlikely the sense of being far from the city is surprising!
The entire walk is on well used and well-marked tracks in the Cooleman Ridge Nature Reserve.
