5 met at the Shed and we all drove in our cars to Bindubi St. We then met two more there and from 8.30AM walked in a circular fashion up to the north east towards Aranda taking several small tracks up and eventually to the highest point adjacent to Aranda.
We then went east and down adjacent to the houses until we reached a small area with an electricity box under the main power line and took a small track down south towards the main east-west track Old Weetangera Rd and also part of the CCT. We then went west a short distance and took the track down to the Snowgums Area.
We then went back to this later road and continued west until we reached the Powerline Link Track and followed it north to rejoin the original Powerline Track which took us west to the cars. We finished back there about 10.10AM.
The weather was warm and fine and a perfect day for walking.
It was a Easy-Medium walk of 4.6 Km taking 1hr 40m.
