I have to do HR paperwork for work at the moment, so I was looking for a quiet place to progress such things. I ended up beside Lake Burley Griffin working away on my laptop, which was quite pleasant. While in the area, it seemed like a good idea to have a quick first attempt…

Big Monks
I’m going to be honest here and say I got this one pretty wrong. Looking at Google Earth, Big Monks is about 1.7 km from the access road (which I got right), what I failed to notice is that it is super steep and that much of the walk is off the trail. So… A…
Cooleman and Arawang Trigs
Doug and I went out to walk Doug’s dog at short notice yesterday evening, and managed to sneak in two trigs while we were at it. A nice walk, although it took longer than I expected it to, with our average speed only being about 3.5 kilometers an hour. I wonder how much of that…
Harcourt and Rogers Trigs
I needed to visit someone in deepest darkest North Canberra yesterday, and there was an hour to kill between that meeting and the local Linux User’s Group meeting. It seemed silly to have driven all that way and to not see a couple of trigs, so I visited these two. Both these trigs were easy…
Taylor Trig
At the top of Mount Taylor lies the first trig point defeated by a group walk I’ve been on. Steve * 3, Erin, Michael *2, Andrew, Cadell, Maddie, Mel, Neill and Jenny all made it to the top of this one, so I’m super proud of us as a group. A nice walk and Mount…
Wanniassa Trig
I walked up to Wanniassa Trig this afternoon. It was a nice walk, the nature park is in the middle of suburban Canberra, but you couldn’t tell that from within much of the park. The nature park also has excellently marked fire trails. There were really cool thunderstorms on the ranges as I walked, whilst…
Urambi Trig
Another day, another trig. This time with Doug, who got to play with his new radio at the top of the hill.
A quick walk to Tuggeranong Trig
This one was a super quick walk on the way to the hardware store. As well as the trig point, there was a defunct radio repeater at the top of the hill — I believe this one was for the old analog Police radio network.
A walk around Mount Stranger
This is a walk around another hill a short drive from my house. The track was less well defined this time, so more bush bashing. There were these star pickets with white caps along the way which marked a join between two fire trails — I think they indicate where fire trucks should go if…
Walk up Tuggeranong Hill
I’ve had a hankering to do a bush walk for an while, and so I spent some time yesterday walking up Tuggeranong Hill. This was a really nice walk — the access road for the ACTEW substation provides parking with shade from trees, and its very very close to my house. The entrance to the…
