JUNE 2018 : MT TENNENT, ACT : 14 kms : 5 hours : 832m

 Brindabella Bushwalking Club - Wednesday walk
Mt Tennent, Namadgi National Park
14kms : 5 hours : 832m
The last few days have seen coldest temperatures for June, so I was feeling rather pessimistic about today’s walk and Mt Tennent’s notorious grandient.
Nothing could have been further from the truth fabulously sunny day (11oC) and a mildly challenging walk on a good track with spectacular scenery.


Artist’s impression of a Canberra landmark - tallest mountain in the ACT.

Fire tower at the top


Spectacular views towards the Brindabellas and Snowy Mountains - snow on the peaks in the far distance.






Sunny walk all the way down
