Route

Description

This walk began at the end of the paved section of Old Sydney Road near Wright Park in East Queanbeyan. We walked through a gate and followed the unpaved Old Sydney Road for about 1.25 kilometres, climbing steadily until we reached the Queanbeyan River Trail. We followed the Queanbeyan River Trail generally south east for about 2.7 kilometers and then headed north and west on the Swamp Trail until we reached the Captains Flat Road. From there we followed Old Sydney Road back to the start point.

Sadly I neglected to take any photos on this walk, but there are some Cuumbeun shots from a previous walk in the Nature Reserve (link).
