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 Taylor clearly has potential for other walks as well, so I am sure I'll return here again. [kml: 20150118]
This was a Canberra Bushwalking Club walk lead by John Evans. Not very long, but I would never have found this site without John's leadership, so much appreciated. [kml: 20150107]
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 I managed to avoid getting rained on while walking. [kml: 20150104-2]
Another day, another trig. This time with Doug, who got to play with his new radio at the top of the hill. [kml: 20141231]
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. [kml: 20141230]
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 they need to, but I am guessing. Bagged another trig point this walk as well. See more thumbnails [kml: 20141228]
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 fire access road for the broadcast repeater at the top the hill isn't well marked, so I ended up going the long way. I think this made the walk more fun to be honest.
