SUMMARY:Branching Out: Canberra Nature Walks - Cotter Dam Discovery Trail & Explorer Track
DESCRIPTION:Combining two easy\, pram and wheelchair accessible\, walks to explore our beautiful Cotter Avenue nature space. All welcome!\nWe’ll meet at the covered gazebo in the grassy area opposite the Cotter playground. We’ll have a break for morning tea – we recommend staying on and enjoying a picnic lunch and a splash in the river. On the walk we’ll see the Cotter Dam from below and above\, lots of lizards\, birds and maybe even fish or crayfish in the river. \nRegister for the walk here: https://events.humanitix.com/branching-out-cotter-dam-discovery-trail-and-explorer-track \n\nThe tracks – description\, distance and duration\nThese walks join so it’s easy to combine them. Total distance 3km – we’ll allow 2.5 to 3 hours because we will be stopping to watch the wildlife and look at flowers. \nCotter Dam Discovery Trail – 1km\nAn easy\, wheelchair and pram friendly\, walk. We take the ramp up to the dam\, stopping to read the signs to learn about the dam and look for the lizards sunbaking on the rocks and paving. \nCotter Explorer Track – 2km return\nTravels along the banks of the Cotter River where you can see lizards\, fish\, birds\, insects\, flowers – lots of wildlife. \nAccessibility\nBoth tracks are listed as easy\, pram suitable\, and wheelchair-friendly.\nhttps://www.parks.act.gov.au/find-a-nature-park/murrumbidgee-river-corridor/cotter-avenue \nMore information\nhttps://www.parks.act.gov.au/find-a-nature-park/murrumbidgee-river-corridor/cotter-avenue \nPlease bring/wear: \n\na camera and binoculars if you have them\nwater\, food\, and snacks\nlunch\, snacks\, swimmers\, towel if you’ll stay for lunch and a dip/splash\nenclosed shoes\nsun cream\, hat\nto protect against mosquito bites it’s important to: (reference https://www.act.gov.au/environment/animals-and-plants/mosquitos):\n\nwear loose\, long-sleeved\, light-coloured clothing\ncovered footwear and socks\nApply mosquito repellent evenly to all areas of exposed skin. The most effective repellents contain picaridin\, DEET or oil of lemon eucalyptus.

We monitor weather\, location and track condition to assess risk and ensure safety. If the weather\, or tracks/river condition are considered to pose safety risks to attendees the walk will be rescheduled. Registered people will be notified as soon as possible prior to the walk date/time and given first opportunity to re-register for the new date. \n__ \nBranching Out: Canberra Nature Walks is an initiative aiming to engage the Canberra community\, especially people with no\, or very little\, experience with our nature\, and support them to enjoy all the beautiful nature spaces the ACT has on offer. \nWe know that unfamiliar things can feel intimidating — especially when it comes to woodlands\, wildlife\, and insects — so we would like to support as many people as possible with making that first step. \nWe hope to ignite a love of Canberra’s nature throughout the community and raise awareness of the importance of healthy ecosystems and the rich biodiversity across the ACT.
