Bimberi Peak

There is one vacant position on this walk. This is a good introductory trip for day walkers who would like to try out overnight camping. It also provides an opportunity to climb Bimberi Peak (1913 metres), the highest peak in the ACT. We’ll depart Canberra at 1:00 pm on Saturday and drive via Adaminaby to the locked gate at the northern end of Pockets Saddle Road. With overnight packs we’ll walk to Oldfields Hut where we'll camp overnight (3.5 km). The next morning, with day packs only, we’ll take the trail to Murrays Gap (4.5 km and 200 metres climb). We will ascend Bimberi Peak from Murrays Gap following a footpad to the summit (3.0 km and 390 metres climb). Following morning tea with fabulous 360 degree views we’ll return along the same route back to Oldfields Hut for lunch and then back to the cars.

This activity has been marked as cancelled.
