What should I expect from outdoor walks in Canberra in late winter?

Choose a walk that matches your daylight and fitness, and carry water. If weather turns, keep a nearby museum or gallery as an easy backup rather than forcing the hike.

Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Keep a respectful distance from kangaroos and other animals, stay on marked paths and use the current ACT Parks advice for the reserve.

Expect cool mornings and evenings even when the afternoon feels pleasant. Bring layers and check the day's forecast before committing to an exposed lookout walk.
