Track Gossan Hill

I'd never been to Gossan Hill and as it's one of the Canberra Nature Parks (and I have a list for these) it had to be done. Fairly unimpressive.

The wander back through Bruce Ridge NR and Black Mountain NR was nice. What's the lovely smooth-trunked yellow eucalypts that have shed their bark at the moment? And a nice little signed walk beside Calvary Hospital.

Thanks Stan and all. Always enjoyable.

Distance: 6.1km Climb: 100m. Time: 6.30 - 8.05pm (1hr 35mins).
Grading: S/E; E(4)
