Route

 

 

Description

This walk starts at the parking area off Springvale Drive near De Salis Street.

Entering The Pinnacle Reserve, I followed the Bicentennial National Trail to the right and then turned off towards The Pinnacle - I couldn't go the top because there was maintenance work happening. I then made may way along the back of the suburb of Hawker, took the underpass at William Hovell Drive and turned left to the Weetangera Cemetery. I returned back through Hawker and along the border of The Pinnacle Nature Reserve, with a brief detour off the track to a prominence at map reference 55H FA 85657 95618.
