This walk was organised, led and enjoyed by me as a private walk:

Walk for Uganda Recce - Cork Oak Plantation to Scrivener Dam. The very last bit of the proposed route.

Further Information

Ros R, the project manager of the Canberra International Arboretum, is unable to give us permission to walk through the arboretum. It is a construction site and only open on Sundays. We've got to respect that.

Walk

I parked at Scrivener Dam and wandered across to the bike path, then along it to the stile over the fence into the Aranda Snow Gums. So:

Continue east along the bike path, crossing under Old Caswell Drive and Caswell Drive. Swing south, following bike path directions to Woden. Cross under the various Parkway roads at Glenloch Interchange three times. (CAREFULLY) cross Lady Denman Drive at the traffic lights. Follow the bike path to the toilets south-west of Acacia Inlet.

EXTRACT POINT E - Acacia Inlet Road (open Sat, Sun, PH) off Lady Denman Drive, about 100m west of the bike path crossing traffic lights (UBD in the Yellow Pages Map 58 F4)

Follow the bike path across Yarramundi Peninsula - at Barrenjoey Drive there is an optional extra loop of 1.6km down to the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, with nice views across to Government House at Yarralumla - then through the additional cork oak area and down to Scrivener Dam. Cross the dam wall on the north-east (lake) side, then through the underpass to Scrivener Dam car park.

9.9km, including 4.1km of the Walk for Uganda route.

Distance: 9.9km  Climb: 50m.  Time: 7.20 - 9.20am (2hrs), with no stops.
