Track Notes

I'd never walked in this, the newest (I understand) of the Canberra Nature Park nature reserves.

An easy and pleasant ramble, with some views to Brindabella hills and the Molonglo River. A bit smelly down near the pipeline. Interesting to see cicadas on the tree and flying about - not making their usual pulsing song, but sounding more like ducks.

Always a pleasure to walk with this leader.
