스크리브너 댐은 1963년에 완공된 Molonglo 강에 있는 콘크리트 중력 댐으로, 레크리에이션 및 장식용 수역인 벌리 그리핀 호수를 만드는 역할을 합니다. 측량 기사 찰스 스크리브너의 이름을 딴 이 댐은 높이가 약 33미터, 길이가 319미터이며, 호수 수위를 정확하게 제어하고 홍수 관리 기능을 제공하는 유압식 물고기 배 모양의 플랩 게이트가 있습니다. 또한 댐에는 도로와 도보/자전거 도로가 있으며 캔버라의 주요 엔지니어링 랜드마크의 배경을 형성하는 데 도움이 됩니다.

Canberra Centenary Trail is a long-distance walking and cycling route that forms a 145-kilometre loop around the Australian Capital Territory. In this rural section near Hall, the trail follows easy farm paths and grassy hills as it approaches the climb to One Tree Hill. This quieter part of the route offers expansive views of farmland and distant ranges, giving the walk a remote feel despite being close to Canberra.

Hall is a small historic village on the northern edge of the ACT and a common starting point for the route to One Tree Hill. The path from the village quickly leaves the streets behind and climbs through open farmland toward the ridge. Its quiet rural setting is a charming gateway to the surrounding countryside and nearby tracks.

The National Arboretum in Canberra has beautiful cycling tracks that run across the whole place. It’s perfect for mountain or gravel bikes. The natural scenery combined with the zen of flowing tracks and change in elevation means you could simply ride forever.

Superb singletrack

Best seat in the house to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of this place. One of the many highlights at the Arboretum.

This is a small single room hut. There is a water tank that in November 2024 had a bucket underneath. The water needs to be treated before drinking but if you need water for other reasons you have a source.

It is worth spending a bit of time here to look around. There are remnants of it being used such as the exotic trees and the grave slightly up the hill. There is also a drop toilet if needed. Sitting under the cover of the veranda is a nice way to have a rest.
