This pleasant short walk starts at the Angle Crossing car park (east side of river) and goes down the hill to the river before looping back to the start. There are pleasant views of the river, Gigerline Nature Reserve and Angle Crossing itself.
In autumn, you may be lucky enough to see the migration of thousands of Yellow-faced Honeyeaters (Lichenostomus chrysops) and White-naped Honeyeaters (Melithreptus lunatus) travelling from the mountains to the warmer coastal areas.Â

This pleasant walk starts at the Angle Crossing car park. Angle Crossing is off Angle Crossing Road via the Monaro Highway near Williamsdale or Smiths Road near Tharwa. Parking is available.
Angle Crossing is the southernmost point of the Murrumbidgee River within the ACT. It is accessed by Angle Crossing Road which takes you down into a picturesque valley to the crossing of the Murrumbidgee River. There is usually water over this concrete crossing and it regularly gets closed due to high water levels, so it is a good idea to check road closures with Access Canberra (phone 13 22 81).

Nice enjoyable short walk. Saw a couple of Honeyeaters but we may have been a bit early for the full migration.
