General Introduction:
Field trips are held on a regular basis, being an activity feature of the Field Naturalists' Association of Canberra Inc.
Part, or whole, day field trips are often organised to link closely with talks given by guest speakers at monthly
meetings and usually take place within the Canberra region. At least one of these field trips is planned each month.
Weekend field trips are conducted to locations outside the Canberra region.
Plenty of warning is given of up-coming field trips, especially the weekend trips, to enable members to effectively plan
ahead.

The walking track for the first half kilometre is difficult, so some members may choose only to venture a short
way along the track.
