 | |  |  | Outdoor Adventure: Bush Walks cheap way of keeping healthy | Tip Rating:   |  |  | |  |
Canberra is also known as the bush capital, because it is surrounded by hills. There are many National Parks within Canberra. These National Parks are ideal for Bush walks. Bush walking is our favourite pastimes and cheap way of keeping fit. Mt Taylor Canberra Nature Park is an easy to medium grade. We usually start our walk from the Tuggeranong side (Sulwood Drive). To reach to the top at normal pace is about twenty five to thirty minutes. The trail surface is mostly gravel tracks and a small percentage of bitumen. The walk is mostly easy going apart when you reached the wooden steps, then the climbs just a little bit harder. Once you reach the top the view is spectacular. On one side you will see Woden Valley (Woden Hospital, Woden Plaza), Redhill Black Mountain Telstra Tower, Civic, Lake Burley Grifin Fountain (if it’s on), Mt Ainslie, Mt Stromlo and part of Belconnen. The other side of Mt Taylor you will see Tuggeranong Valley surrounded suburb and beyond.
Make sure you are fit and do not have medical condition because Bush walks around Canberra, require a fairly good level of fitness.
We park our car at the corner of Sulwood drive and Inskster Street Kambah. You will see other cars parked. The bushwalk path is not far from the parking area.
Mount Taylor (856 metres above sea level) is one of the hills located in Canberra and it is located between the Woden Valley, Weston Creek and Tuggeranong Valley. Mt Taylor is part of the Canberra Nature Park.
See photos for the view.

| | | | Outdoor Adventure: TOBOGGANING & SNOWFUN NEAR CANBERRA | | | | | |
Most people go to the snowy mountains which are a good many hours away. For our family, we get enough snowplay at Corin Forest, about an hour from Canberra.
The kids were still a bit young to take up skiing so the best option when in the snow is tobogganing! There is enough snow cover at Corin forest and is easily accessible too! There are lots of other things to do there- the flying fox, bobsled, alpine slide and more snow play!
There is also a licensed cafe with a cosy fireplace to boot! The Corin Forest BAse Station is a good venue for parties, seminars, small functions, etc.
This year, due to the bush fire several years ago, the place has no snow but still caters to groups who want to camp, hike, etc. Do inquire at their website for details. The bush setting is still spectacular as ever without the freezing snow! Website: corin.com.au
