How to Get There

The Hash House is located at the property known as ‘Rose Hill ’ (but signposted 'Rob Roy' on the gate) on the Monaro Highway, just south of Canberra. We have permission to enter the farm land on foot, but parking is only available near the highway (see below).

Parking spac e is limited, so please consider car pooling if it is safe fo r you to do so.

The start/finish and large ACTRA marquee/catering wil l be 400-500m from the parking area - allow enough time to walk there for t he start at 10.00am.

Heading south from Canberra, travel 7.8km from the Monaro Highway/Johnson Road junction. You will pass the Royalla Solar Farm (on your right) then c ome to the junction with Old Cooma Road (on your left). The entrance to the HH site is immediately after this junction, on the right hand side of the highway, but there is NO dedicated turning lane from the highway into the p roperty (the turning lane marked there is for the northbound traffic turnin g into Old Cooma Road).

DO NOT QUEUE ON THE HIGHWAY to turn right int o the property. Continue on and do a U-turn where it is safe to do so. Ther e are a number of places where you can safely pull over on to the left hand verge then turn back without crossing solid/double lines. Take care a s oncoming traffic is travelling at high speed.

When you turn off the highway, go straight ahead across the conc rete ford and park as directed on the left and right between the ford and t he landowner’s residential fence.

Onc e that car parking is filled, overflow parking is available back beside the service road next to the highway - not further onto the private property.& nbsp;
