TNR: SH1356 THE LATEST gpx file 3.7km, 285vm, S/R; M(8), Photos
Relatively easy up in 1hr 16mins. Huge tors with crawls underneath and through to the other side. Our down was less than 200m to the S, but hard going through pickup sticks and tight scrub and taking 2hrs 10mins.

NNP: Blundell, Bulls Head and Bendora trigs; Bushranger weir * gpx file 14.5km, 495vm, M/R; M(10), Photos
4 short Canberra Bushwalking Club hikes in the Brindies today. W1 – a very short foray off the side of Brindabella Rd to bag Blundells trig. W2 – a short walk into Bulls Head trig, returning via the powerline easement. We had a poke around the Bulls Head picnic area, including border marker E52 and the dump. Smoko at a table in the sun. W3 – from Warks Corner down Bendora Rd, an off-track bash into Bendora trig. The scrub seemed milder than in 2017. A rearing snake on the way back and lots of orchids. W4 – a wander SW along Warks Rd. Straight, tall timber, tree ferns at every corner. We bashed up to Bushranger weir. A most enjoyable blue-sky day for the 7 of us.

Urb: Urban Worn Boot Bash 2026 gpx file 32.8km, 1305vm, L/E; H(13), Photos
I was allowed to start 1 and a half hours earlier than the main party. They missed Mt Mugga Mugga, so around 1 hour ahead. They caught me at Oakey Hill (aka cake hill), because Chrys had a yummy carrot cake to share. I must be ageing, as this year was 40 minutes slower

Half of the hikers were training for the AAWT. The rest of us went for a daypack stroll. The cloudy weather brought our gaze from nearby hills more to track-side flowers. Plenty of colour, particularly purple

Urb/MTNR: Mawson Primary School Year 5 to Mt Taylor ! gpx file 7.4km, 300vm, S/E; E(5), Photos
Have you ever led a mob of 64 on a hike? Hats off to Mawson Primary School and teacher Joanne H for initiating this excursion. 55 students and 9 teachers and helpers. The object was to appreciate our surroundings from an indigenous perspective. Thank you to Tyronne Bell and Aaron Chatfield who, in the past, shared their knowledge with me on cultural tours, so that I was able to pass it on. Great inter-school cooperation with Sacred Heart Primary allowing walkers to use their toilets! |

An easy hike to some POI around Yankee Hat carpark, except for some scrub and difficulty amongst large tors looking for a geocache. We visited Foresters Hut, Eleanors Grove, TankEngine’s ‘brick factory’, spent a fruitless hour amongst the tors, Frank and Jacks Hut and sheep dip, Yankee Hat rock art, J Rustins Hut site, Sinclairs Hut site and well, confluence of Bogong and Middle Creeks to form the Gudgenby River. |
