It is a little way to get there, but the walks are delightful, suitable for kids, in generally well shaded in the trees, with great views from the tops

One could easily spend a whole day in the pristine areas of the Namadgi National Park. There are a wide range of day walks for visitors an hikers. For the less energetic people the visitor's centre has a great circular walk that takes less than 20 minutes to complete and there is great scenery to be seen. As this is... More

For the nature lovers and bush walkers Namadgi is very popular. But need rangers warnings about first aid, water and park closures on days of extreme bish fire conditions.

As a regular walker in the park, I am almost reluctant to share its treasures - so often the walks we do we encounter no-one else which is part of the magic of Namadgi. It is a place of stunnning beauty and tranquility.

Namadgi is a wonderful place to go to get away from the city. The visitor centre is only 20 minutes from Tuggeranong but you could be in the middle of nowhere. The campsites are well situated with toilets, gas barbeques and drinking water at some. There are fire places for those who want to toast marshmellows without starting a bushfire... More

We did the Yankee Hat Trail in the park, and we loved it! It's a bit of trek to find - about a 30 minute drive from the Park's Information Centre, and down a dirt road, but this trail is worth - a real gem. No one else was there when we did the hike, so it was very peaceful.... More

Namadgi covers a huge area, and there are lots of good walking trails suitable for children as well as adults. A favourite is the short along the valley to Orroral Homestead (and there is an even shorter walk from the road - 300m.)

This park is a 25 minute drive from the centre of Canberra. It's a great picnic destination with many nature walks on offer. In one enclosure there is a walk where you can spot koalas in their natural habitat. It a great natural attraction for visiting families.
