“Wetlands hideout”
I loved the Jerrabomberra Wetlands. It was just a short stroll from my Airbnb. And It was great for walking, running and cycling. There are several great bird hide lookouts. Going there before...

“A relaxed nature walk in inner-city Canberra”
Its a great quiet and relaxed wetland area, that you can visit for a short or extended time, but I am a regular visitor incorportaing as part of a bridge to lower-bridge walk around the lake.
