Location

In a field near the Bicentennial National Trail, at Coolamon Ridge (Canberra Nature Park).

Participants

1PE

Plans

1PE

Lunchtime jaunt from work, and get some fresh air and exercise.

Expedition

Rather than taking the Bicentennial National Trail (our local part of a horse trail that extends several thousand kilometers) I went up the steep hill. Hmmmm.... bad move! Several barbed-sire fences later and I was still circling in on the GPS position. Finally, another fence and I was in the field. As close as I could tell, it was near an old, concrete fence post. So, I took a picture or two, and traced uphill along the line of the two existing posts and saw no more sign of the old fence. Pics as I reached the northern side of the hill.

Photos

Me and my concrete fence post. Farm house in background.
View of Canberra suburbs and city landmarks (eg the iconic Telstra Tower)
Where I was.....
