Sherwood Homestead from East-West Road Hike (6.4km)

Blue Range Hut Recreation area is in the Uriarra Forest area on Blue Range Road, 2.6 kilometres from the intersection with Brindabella Road. Centred around the heritage-listed remains of a World War II Italian internment camp, the Blue Range camp is a very popular camping and events location. You can book individually for small groups, or hire the whole area for large gatherings. Blue Range Hut is also a great base for accessing some of the glorious alpine walking trails of northern Namadgi National Park. Bring your own drinking water and firewood. Bookings are essential, as you will not be able to get inside the locked gate unless you book prior. Phone 6207 2900 or book online at www.bookings.act.gov.au No bins are provided - please take your rubbish home with you. (This in addition to the ongoing Fox Baiting Program being carried out in the Blue Range/Lower Cotter catchment area.) Occasionally foxes and wild dogs will move baits away from the original bait site. Supervised dogs at the Blue Range campground should be safe as this is over 500 metres from the nearest bait site. Please ensure that dogs are secured at the campsite so that they cannot stray into baited areas unsupervised. For further information please call 13 22 81.
