Hi guys, I am trying to find a website that has maps of
Canberra. I tried Goolge but the maps i found didnt show enough area.
Anyone found a site that has a good selection of maps available to look at online?
Regards Angelo

Hi Tony,
I will be heading down from
Canberra so i figure i will be on Kings Hwy. My original plan was to follow kings hwy all the way to
braidwood and start my trip from there.
But if you want to meet up somewhere, I dont mind changing things around. I am assuming i would turn off from Kings Hwy just out of Queanbeyan. I believe the road is called Captains Flat rd. My problem is, I cant see on my map where
Braidwood road meets up if i was to do the Captains Flat road as u suggest. The only thing i have on my map is that maybe
Braidwood road heads all the way to Araluen.
If you get time to reply tomorrow sometime, then i will do the Captains Flat route, otherwise I will stick to my original plan and head to
Braidwood as the treck notes i have are from this site and written by Collin.
Just incase ....i am assuming that from
Canberra ( where i am sleeping friday night) to Captains flat would be About 40 minutes drive ? if that is correct, let me know what time you will be at the meeting place and what the distance is from Captains Flat to
Braidwood rd so I can calculate time of arrival. Meantime I will look around for a more defined map. Also let me know what Vehicle you drive so I can spot you. I will be on UHF10 just incase.

From the
Canberra Airport its 40min to Captains Flat. Take that T/O on the Kings Hwy to Captains Flat, when you get there take the
Braidwood Rd, the T/O is next to the Fire Stn, this is after a R/T to go up the "main street". I am metting two other vehicles 7k up the
Braidwood Rd at 9.30.
This way is a lot quicker than down the Hwy.
We will be on ch 18. give me a call as you come into the Flat.
Tony.

Not sure where you are from, but
Canberra deserves at least 5 days - Nat museum, Nat Library, Nat gallery, Parliment house (old & new),, Questathon etc etc.
Plus all the great drives in the Brindabella's
anyway !
Instead of using UHF 10 try one of the local repeater channels - 2 is best or 7 and 6 is in the Bungendore area. They are on the top of the Ranges and give great coverage.
I don't think I can make it to
Bendethera - but have a good time - I hope my Trek notes are useful. It is a pity you are only going for one night as the 'loop drive' around the north of the 'valley' is a worthwhile trip.
Cheers
Colin
