Easy-Medium Wednesday Walk #2, 7 October, Goorooyarroo Reserve/Mulligans Flat Reserve Circuit (BBC)

No bookings required for joint club Wednesday Walks

Leader: John K. for BBC

WALK DESCRIPTION: An anticlockwise circuit walk through the open woodlands of the Goorooyaroo and Mulligans Flat (MF) Reserves. Starting from Wildbark VC, we head off on a good track to Sammys Hill, then cross country, and up steeply, to Old Joe Hill for morning tea. From here we head across country along the ACT/NSW borderlands to Gooroo Hill and beyond. We will head towards the Mulligans Flat Woolshed, across some open country and have lunch here. From the Woolshed to the Mulligan's Wetlands, then onto the Wildbark VC. I aim to be back by about 2pm, in time for a cuppa at the Cafe.

It will be warmish so please dress for the conditions and bring plenty of water, hats and sunscreen. There will be some off track walking through open and steep woodland so gaiters and/or long pants would be appropriate.
