Location

On the bank of Ginninderra Creek, an important, local, urban creek in the Belconnen region of Canberra, beside the overflow dam of Lake Ginninderra.

Participants

Plans

- Well after dark, after several social activities tonight.

Expedition

1PE

It was about 10.30pm when I'd finished up several other activities for the evening, and got to drive a short distance from home to the hash. The road surfaces on the main road were being repaired, and new lines marked at several corners. Detour time.

I parked beside a road machine and walked into the bush, using a mobile phone's dull glow to prevent tripping on the tall grass and hidden rocks. Down by the creek, I could see the dam wall at the nearby road (the road crosses the dam wall) and navigated in using the phone's locator.

After several pics, I walked back.

Tracklog

Photos

Road, dam, spillway, creek, hash.
Why AM I doing this late at night?
Leg of a power line tower.
Serious late-night road building at the nearby corner meant I had several detours.
