Route
Description
We started this walk at the southern end of the Pine Island Reserve and headed south along the walking track that follows the Murrumbidgee River. There were some nice views across the river and down by its banks.
After about 3 kilometres walking we reached the Point Hut picnic area and started our return journey via Mt Stranger. We followed the Bicentennial Trail from Point Hut for about 1.7 kilometres before heading bush towards the mountain. This was pretty easy going through grass and Patterson's curse to then trig at the summit of Mt Stranger. This gave us views of both rural and urban landscapes.
Descending the mountain towards the west we struck the Bicentennial Trail again and followed it for just short of a kilometre before cutting back to Pine Island.
