DESCRIPTION:A circuit of 8 to 9 km in Tallaganda State Forest, with one 
 and a half viewpoints, a cascade, some glades and beautiful old growth f
 orest. The main view point, from a granite outcrop, is sometimes called 
 Window View Rocks. About 4 hours actual walking, plus lunch and other br
 eaks. We should be back at the cars by 2.30 pm. We will spend about a th
 ird of the time on management trails, a third on footpads/biketracks, an
 d a third off-track. The off-track will include some steep slopes with l
 oose stones, some knee-high logs to step over, leaf litter and bark that
  may be slippery, but not much scrub. The route undulates; the main desc
 ent is 100 vertical metres and the main climb is 70 vertical metres. The
  pace on the uphills and rougher sections will be slowish. The ACT Conse
 rvation Council will be screening a film on Tallaganda on 7th September;
  if you are planning to attend, this walk is an opportunity to see why c
 onservation groups want this forest turned into national park. The forec
 ast for the Tallaganda area is for 'a shower or two' totalling 2 mm. Max
  about 12 degrees. Bring warm layers, a warm hat as well as a sun hat, a
  rain jacket, gaiters, lunch, snacks and water. Gloves and waterproof ov
 erpants recommended. We will car-pool in Queanbeyan. The drive is 55 min
 utes from Queanbeyan, via Captains Flat to avoid some bridge closures. A
 bout 20 minutes of the drive is on well-maintained gravel road suitable 
 for 2WDs. Fuel costs are $60 per car. No need to book. Meet at the Spotl
 ight carpark, 6 Bungendore Road, Queanbeyan, at 8.20 am, to be ready to 
 start on or before 8.30 am. If you have not previously done a Wednesday 
 walk or have any questions, contact the leader, Linda Groom, lbgroom@gma
 il.com or 0474 507 259.
