I decided to go on a little walk on the way home from a work lunch and I don’t regret it. This is a nice area, which I was exploring for geocaches. I probably wouldn’t have come here at all, but it was the second part of the “Trees of Curtin” walk from Best Bush,…

Old Joe and Goorooyarroo
Steve, Mel, Michael and I went for a walk to Old Joe trig yesterday. I hadn’t been to Goorooyarroo at all before, and was quite impressed. The terrain is nice, with some steep bits as you get close to the border (its clear that the border follows the water catchment from a walk around here)….
Camp Cottermouth
I spent the weekend at a Scout camp at Camp Cottermouth. The light on the hills here in the mornings is magic.
CBC Navigation Course
So today was the day long map and compass class with the Canberra Bushwalking Club. I liked this walk a lot. It was a good length at about 15km, and included a few things I’d wanted to do for a while like wander around McQuoids Hill and the northern crest of Urambi hills. Some nice…
Walk to the Southern Most Point
I’ve just realized that I didn’t post any pics of my walk to the most southern point of the ACT. The CBC had a planned walk to the southern most point on the ACT border and I was immediately intrigued. So, I took a day off work and gave it a go. It was well…
Geocaching with a view
I went to find a couple of geocaches in a jet lag fuelled caching walk this morning. Quite scenic!
Chet and I went on an adventure to LA-96
So, I’ve been fascinated with American nuclear history for ages, and Chet and I got talking about what if any nuclear launch facilities there were in LA. We found LA-96 online and set off on an expedition to explore. An interesting site, its a pity there are no radars left there. Apparently SF-88 is the…
Geocaching with TheDevilDuck
In what amounts to possibly the longest LAX layover ever, I’ve been hanging out with Chet at his place in Altadena for a few days on the way home after the Nova mid-cycle meetup. We decided that being the dorks that we are we should do some geocaching. This is just some quick pics some…
Casuarina Sands to Kambah Pool
I did a walk with the Canberra Bushwalking Club from Casuarina Sands (in the Cotter) to Kambah Pool (just near my house) yesterday. It was very enjoyable. I’m not going to pretend to be excellent at write ups for walks, but will note that the walk leader John Evans has a very detailed blog post…
Wanderings
I am on vacation this week, so I took this afternoon to do some walking and geocaching… That included a return visit to Narrabundah trig to clean up some geocaches I missed last visit: And exploring the Lindsay Pryor arboretum because I am trying to collect the complete set of arboretums in Canberra: And then…
