Family camp in upper Orroral Valley
October 1, 2023 @ 10:00 am - October 2, 2023 @ 2:00 pm
FreeA walk and overnight camp designed for active families, organised by the Canberra Bushwalking Club. You do not need to be a Club member to participate. On Sunday, from Orroral Tracking Station, we walk 4 km upstream, with a stop to explore a giant split rock. Our camp spot is amongst scattered trees near a rocky part of the Orroral River, suitable for floating bark boats and other games. On Monday, which is a public holiday, we cross the river on boulders and return to the cars by a slightly shorter route. Families will need to carry all their own gear, for two hours or more, including a fuel stove. Gear can be hired from the Club; see canberrabushwalkingclub.org/for-members-guests/equipment-and-food/equipment-hire/ This walk will suit families with kids aged 6 to 11 who want to try off-track walking and bush camping.
