Diddams Close Park, Belconnen


This is a section of the bike/walking path around Diddams Close Park. The park is a peninsula in Lake Ginninderra, and the path continues around the lake through John Knight Memorial Park, along Emu Bank at Belconnen, and through the parklands on the western side of the lake. It forms a popular walking, running and cycling circuit, especially on sunny weekends.

On the road between Nowra and Braidwood


These are the beehive rock formations at Bulee Gap, between Sassafrass and Nerriga on the road inland from Nowra. I've seen the road referred to as the Nerriga Road, the Braidwood Road, the Turpentine Road, and Main Road 92. Whatever it's called, it's an important connection between the tablelands (and Canberra) and the coast, especially now that the section between Nerriga and Nowra is completely sealed. Parts of this road roughly follow the old 1840s and 50s convict-built Wool Road, used to transport the wool clip down to the coast. In the photo above, part of the Wool Road has been preserved underneath the recent bridge construction on the right.
