Am heading down to
Canberra for the Easter/Anzac Day week. Wanna take my 8yr old nephew out into the bush on day trips - got any suggestions ? Would prefer things between graded dirt road and diff breaking rocky hills.

Paul,
unfortunately most of the readily accessible tracks to the west and south of
canberra wouldnt be the greatest viewing at present post the bushfires.
there were quite a few tracks in the brindabellas that would meet your criteria but I couldnt recommend them at present.
I would suggest 2 options but both are reasonably long "Day trips" from
canberra
1) -
goulburn -taralga-
wombeyan caves then cut accoss thru langs road/ limeburners to Yerranderie.
2) go out from
braidwood into the top of
deua national park even down into
bendethera valley.
Hope you find something there are some good roads around the ACT but the bushfires have really given us a bleep ling.

What about Tallanganda and the old coach road over to
Braidwood, also good easy drive up to Rocky
Pic out from Captains Flat (great
views) and then follow the range down towards Jerangle then Slap Up fire trail over to
the Big Hole and then back to
Braidwood.

G'day
I go down into Duea and
Bendethera fairly regularly. Went down a few weeks back - going in and out from the Snowball side is easy, and not much evidence of the recent fires. This trip to
Bendethera is a longish day from
Canberra - but you could only go as far as
Dampier Trig which makes it much easier. My understanding is the access from the Muruya side is still closed (plus this is a much longer trip and a but rougher).
Cheers
