Hi Tom (et al.)
 
We walked the Bungendore side, starting at the gate almost opposite the Weetalabah turnoff. We walked up this track and right through to where it came out on Captain's Flat Rd (several Kms), then walked back cross-country eventually ending up near an area where builders' waste has been dumped alongside Kings Hwy (but outside the Reserve), as mentioned by Geoffrey Dabb a week or so back, then back uphill to where we started, with a small detour down a side-track where we saw the Brown Treecreeper and Spotted Quail-Thrush. The veg inside is really good - lots of large Red Box, Apple Box, Red Stringybarks, Scribbly Gums - with many hollows, and good understorey and eucalypt/acacia regrowth. There is a gorge (of sorts) that runs through the middle, with some pools here and there.
