The tour will link up in the ACT suburb of Coombs before heading west through the Molonglo Valley, crossing the Murrumbidgee River at Uriarra Crossing, and heading into the Brindies. The tour route takes us across ridgelines and through mountainous terrain covered with red stringybark and scribbly gums. Brindabella Range’s unique alpine and sub-alpine environment is home to many native animals, including threatened mammals like the spotted-tailed quoll or the yellow-bellied glider.
After looking for the border markers at Piccadilly Circus, we will ascend Mt Coree. On a clear day you will be able to see Canberra in the distance to the east, and south across the Australian Alps. We will also explore some great tracks to practise our 4WD skills before making camp by the Goodradigbee River and sharing stories around the campfire. On Day 2, the tour will continue to explore the network of tracks through the Brindies before making our way back towards Canberra. The tour will conclude mid-afternoon.
After this tour, put your skills to the test on one of our tours in the Victorian High Country; either Davies Plain or Wonnangatta Valley. You could also expand your 4WD experience from mountains to desert with one of our Simpson Desert tours.
