Sign up for the fourth walk in our Walks Program for Walk the Border, ACT - LIGHT.

Overview of the walk: Border from Tuggeranong Pines to the Monaro Highway.

This walk takes in an accessible but rarely visited part of the ACT following the management trail next to the disused railway line. Magic rural views with mountain backdrops. Lots of natives should be in bloom amidst the history of the railway and its construction. The walk will mainly be on the management trail next to the disused railway line but some sections will require walking along the railway line itself. These sections can provide uneven walking surfaces.

Duration: 4 hours

Getting there and back: Meet 9:00 am at the dirt carpark at Tuggeranong Pines at the start of the Old Tuggeranong Road, accessed off the Monaro Hwy. The walk finishes at a property access road on the left hand side of the Monaro Hwy heading towards Cooma.  This provides limited off road parking and is located almost immediately upon the start of the merger of the two southbound lanes of the Monaro Hwy after cresting the hill from Tuggeranong.

Note that this is a one-way walk and transport will be needed to return to the starting point.
