This Weeks Walk at the Arboretum

This week we headed to the Arboretum for our NZ training walk. It was a bit cool and windy but the rain held off. We parked at one end of the Arboretum near the Cork Forest and walked right down to Dairy Farmer's Hill, we did about 9km all together. Lots of lovely views along the way and some interesting trees and sculptures.






The Cork Oak forest was grown from acorns brought out from Spain in 1917, they have had cork strippers come out several times from Portugal to get cork from the trees, a lovely quiet forest.


Lots of lovely views and different angles of Canberra



 Above and below were some of the sculptures we passed on our walk.

I love this one to, "Wide Brown Land"

It was a very enjoyable afternoon and enjoyed seeing so much more of the Arboretum on foot!
