Starting from the car park at the end of Tharwa Sandwash Road, Tennent, this walk takes you to the foreshore of Murrumbidgee River and back, via a fire trail. A straight flat fire trail to the sand riverbank and equipped with picnic tables, this walk can make for a great all-around family trip. Take a swim in the warm waters of the river, then have a big picnic as you enjoy the relaxing aura of the riverbed. There are also canoe entry points if you want to challenge the stream. As you’re resting after all that action, keep an eye out for peculiar birds such as Tawny Frogmouths. The area is known to contain around 200 species of them. Don’t forget to leave your fishing rod at home, as it is forbidden to fish here.

Smokers Trail Short

Starting from Corin Road, Paddys River, this walk takes you into the woodland of Namadgi National Park via Smokers Trail and comes back. Walk along the valleys and hills of the park as you disconnect from modern life more and more as you go deeper. Providing you with spectacular views along the way, this walk requires a decent amount of fitness as some parts of the trail are pretty steep. Hiking through the Black Sallee flats and the Alpine Ash forest, you’re likely to run into eastern grey kangaroos, echidnas, pygmy possums along with various reptile species. Don’t forget to leave your furry friend at home, as domestic pets are not allowed in the park.
