Booroomba Rocks

We have lived in Canberra for 23 years this month, and have not been to Booroomba Rocks before. It is about a 30 minute drive from our place so I decided it was about time we visited the Rocks and a good place for our training walk for NZ. it was a lovely day for walking and the bush is at is best in early spring.

It was a fairly steep walk up to the rocks, took about 30 minutes, but it was a magnificent view back across Canberra, you can't really make it out in this photo but we could pick out lots of familiar features.

Here is Bill pretending he has just climbed up the cliff!

 After we got back from the Rocks, we headed down the Australian Alpine Walk, we walked down for an hour stopped and had some lunch then walked back up. It was lovely heading through the bush and this was a lovely walk, a fair bit was downhill so had some climbing to do on the way back.

We walked down to Bushfold Flats where we ate our lunch before heading back up the hill. We were down in a valley, we could see Mt Tennant in front of us and the Booroomba Rocks were we had been earlier in the day.
