Favourite overnight walks in Canberra region?

...or, where should I go walking in the rain this weekend? ;)

I've found it a bit tricky finding information on walks in the area, compared to Tassie. Probably looking in the wrong places I guess.

AFAICT access to the Brindies basically requires a 4WD for access... which my Barina definitely ain't.

Hi Singe,

There are many places in the ACT to do overnight walks, a good place to start is John Evans Blog, if he has not been there it is not accessible, most of his walks are day walks but many are very hard long walks that can be done as overnighters.

A good place to start is the Yankee Hat car park or the Mt Clear car park, both are accessible by 2wd. You can also access the Brindies via Corin Dam up the Stockyard Spur.

What a great resource! Thanks Tony (and John) :)

Ended up doing a short overnighter to Mt Tennent, camped at the saddle and walked out via Bushfold Flats and the AAWT. I reckon I might just plan some longer walks on the AAWT...
