Hike Summary
This walk starts and ends at London Bridge Arch. Follow the Queanbeyan River Walk branching off towards Washpen Crossing then north along the Queanbeyan River. Climb up a rocky, wooded ridge then down to the junction of the Queanbeyan River and Burra Creek. The return track follows the remains of an old boundary and 'vermin proof' fence along the ridge. If the river is low it may be possible to cross over the nearby Drawdown Crossing and return along the fire trail.
