Australia has been under the Covid spell for over 18 months. While Europe and the US have lifted restrictions, our eastern states are in continual lockdown with the Delta variant reeking havoc. We are confined to our local areas, which means no trips to our coast house and limited activities. Just on our doorstep, ten minutes from our apartment, we made an interesting discovery. We have walked and cycled through the Jerrabomberra Wetlands but had no idea of recent additions.
When Lake Burley Griffin was formed after damming the Molonglo River in 1964, the wetlands was a natural result.
It has become home to much animal and bird life, in fact to an incredible 170 species of birds.
Walks in our vicinity have become a mainstay for our Covid survival. It’s amazing what you find and what you.take for granted.
Essential for Canberra’s water quality and the survival of many wildlife species.
An oasis in the middle of the city, with opportunities to view native species in the protection of hides.
