SUMMARY:Black Mountain Summit Ramble
DESCRIPTION:The Summit Walk between the Summit of Black Mountain Nature Reserve to the Visitor Centre at the ANBG is a joint initiative between the ACT Government\, the Australian National Botanic Gardens (ANBG) and Telstra and was officially opened in July 2000. \nDr Michael Doherty\, a local plant ecologist\, and ANBG Guide\, will talk about winter colour among the plants down the north-eastern slope from the Summit of Black Mountain to the ANBG Visitor Centre. Michael will talk about the interesting variety of mechanisms through which the local flora copes with fire and drought and he will also be pointing out the characteristics of the different eucalypts found along the way\, including some very old veteran scribbly gums with lumpy bumpy ‘elephants feet’! \n** As we are walking down the track\, it may be a good idea to arrange with a friend to take you back to your car at the top after the walk. \nThe Summit Walk has steep sections\, so it is suitable for fit walkers (including children over the age of 12). \nMeet: At the Summit Terrace\, slightly uphill from the Tower on Black Mountain.\nBring: Friends\, water\, and snacks\, if you wish.\nWear: Sturdy shoes\, hat\, and sun cream …and remember to dress for a walk in winter weather if it is cold. \nBookings essential: Places are limited on these very popular rambles\, so please use the booking link to register for the walk. \nBooking link:  https://www.trybooking.com/DNNTX \nIt helps so that you can be contacted in case arrangements need to change (e.g. adverse weather). \nTickets are limited\, so please notify us if you have booked but find you are unable to come\, by email to friendsofblackmountain@gmail.com or phone 0437 298 711
