Description
Take a walk down the London Bridge Walking Track to this spot to see the London Bridge Arch.
You may like to continue on along the 3.4 km circuit walk to the historic homestead, woolshed and shearers quarters.
The limestone of London Bridge began to form 420 million years ago when sediment and coral remains were deposited on an ocean floor.
Over time the ocean receded and erosion shaped the landscape.
The area now known as Googong has a rich history in Aboriginal culture.
The Ngunnawal people have lived in and maintained the area for thousands of years. The area is also rich in cultural and natural resources which sustained the Ngunnawal people.
The Queanbeyan River was a traditional pathway used by the Ngunnawal, Yuin and other neighbouring tribes to gain access to the higher country where they would perform lore such as initiation, trade and marriage.
Googong also has Aboriginal sites which are viewed by the Ngunnawal people as holding spiritual significance, including London Bridge Arch.
Please respect all heritage sites.
