This walk was organised and led by me as an irregular CBC Tuesday walk:

Tuesday 23 December - West Coree Creek volcanics and Shannons Flat - M/M,WX. A relatively easy walk for Tuesday trudgers to take in a most likely spectacular view. From near the ACT-NSW border on Pabral Road, head east through the bush to the top of a volcanic slab overlooking Coree Creek. Descend to Coree Creek and snip and splash down to the weir on Condor Creek. Have a look at Shannons Flat. Around 9km and 450m total climb. Route not fully known to leader. Map: Cotter Dam 1:25000. Limit of 8. Leader: John Evans – jevans@pcug.org.au, (h) 6288 7235. Transport: ~$5. Further details at http://jevans.pcug.org.au.

Caught out again. Many thanks to Chris L for the correction and extra information:

This is about the "West Coree Creek Granite..." walk: There may be false advertising here because the rock slopes that you see are not granite but volcanic fallout deposits, just like most of the rocks from about Mt Coree all the way up to Yass. About three years ago I led a trip to Coree Creek and diverted across to this particular outcrop. It is a great spot for a morning tea and views. On that trip we also diverted up a south-flowing creek running into Coree Creek just downstream of the main Coree falls. That little creek has a nice little cascade similar to the one that we visited on the Cow Flat Creek tributary. Further up that little creek you come to a stretch of wonderful tall tree ferns about immediately below Devils peak.
