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.

릴라 호수는 숲과 탁 트인 황무지로 둘러싸인 작고 고요한 고산 호수입니다. 잔잔한 날에는 호수가 주변 봉우리를 비추어 도브 호수 순환로를 따라 평화롭고 사진 찍기 좋은 장소를 만들어냅니다. 이곳은 번잡한 주요 전망대에서 벗어나 자연의 아름다움을 잠시 멈춰 감상할 수 있는 조용한 장소입니다.

Upper Pool is a large natural swimming hole above the main waterfall. Surrounded by red sandstone and fed by cascading water, the clear pool is a popular place to swim and relax midway through the walk. From its rocky edges, you can look down over the falls or swim close to the smaller cascades feeding the pool.

Jerusalem Bay is one of the most scenic spots along the Great North Walk in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. The track descends through sandstone bushland and eucalypt forest before reaching the quiet waters of the bay, which forms part of Cowan Creek. Surrounded by steep bush-covered hills, the sheltered inlet feels remote despite being relatively close to Sydney. The calm water and sandy edges make it a peaceful place to rest along the walk, and it’s common to spot fish, waterbirds, and other wildlife around the bay.

Bordering the Yarra River near the Main Yarra Trail, the Royal Botanic Gardens are one of Melbourne’s most beautiful green spaces. The gardens cover 38 hectares and feature a mix of landscaped lawns, lakes, and collections of native and international plants. Walking paths wind through the gardens, offering quiet spots to relax beneath large trees or beside the water. It’s a peaceful place to take a break from the city, with great views of Melbourne’s skyline rising beyond the greenery.

Tucked beneath the towering red walls of Uluṟu, Mutitjulu Waterhole is one of the few permanent water sources in the area and a place of deep cultural significance to the Aṉangu people. he waterhole sits below a cave where ancient rock art can still be seen, and interpretive signs along the path explain the Kuniya Tjukurpa story connected to this place. A short detour from the Uluṟu Base Walk leads to a viewing platform overlooking the waterhole, making it one of the most meaningful and memorable stops around the base of the rock.

Dove Lake is a glacial lake, with the Dove Lake Circuit circling the shoreline. The walk passes through buttongrass plains, alpine heath, and pockets of temperate rainforest. There are also great views of Cradle Mountain from many spots around Dove Lake.

Araucaria Track is an easy-to-moderate route that follows the northern shoreline of Enoggera Reservoir that winds through open eucalypt forest with scattered hoop pines before looping a small peninsula and returning the same way. At roughly 5 km return, it typically takes about two hours and is popular for gentle hiking, birdwatching, and enjoying views of the water.
