Adventure #2/26 - Hike at Goorooyarroo
Date: Saturday 9th May 2026
Time: Hiking starts from the Yankee Hat Trailhead at 10am and will conclude by between 2-3pm. We will pause for lunch together around halfway.
Hike distance: 8-9km loop
Hike Description: While were were initially planning on going 4Wheel Driving for this advenutre, with current fuel prices, we decided to keep this one local so it will be more achievable for people to enjoy. This will also help us to remember that we don’t have to go remote locations to enjoy walking with God in His garden.
We will be walking through the Goorooyaoo Nature Reserve near Throsby which is a beautiful area of grasslands and hills. With expansive views of Canberra as we walk among the trees, we will work our way up one of the many hills to enjoy the view to its fullest.
Everyone is invited but you will need to have suitable fitness and ability to complete this moderate hike. And, as much as pets are important parts of many of our lives, please leave them at home to allow those who aren’t comfortable around pets to enjoy this time as well.
