Subject: [canberrabirds] Next Wednesday Walk - change of venue
We had planned that the January Wednesday Walk would be to Warks Rd in the Brindabellas. The weather forecast is for a maximum of 35C and in the current circumstances, even if there isn't a fire ban, taking several carloads of people into dense forest on 4km of narrow rough road seemed to fall somewhere between irresponsible and very stupid. Thus, in consultation with a few others, it has been decided to shift the walk to Tharwa Sandwash and subsequently to the Namdgi Visitors Centre.
I suggest we meet at the Sandwash at 8:30 at the spot marked with a red dot in the attached grab from Google Maps. For those unfamiliar with the area Tharwa Village is just to the North of the map (but wouldn't appear on the same screen) at the scale needed to show the Sandwash Rd. My understanding is that the Tharwa Bridge is open, so follow signs from Tuggeranong to Tharwa.
Bring lots of water and (unless the contents of the ice cream cabinet at the Visitors Centre will satisfy your need for calories) lunch.
If a Total Fireban is declared for the ACT the walk will be cancelled
