Westbourne Woods seen from Warrina Inlet.  The Woods, one of the  sites  of experimental plantings of exotic trees, are the setting for the manicured fairways of Royal Canberra Golf Club, and, near the  lake, a playground for large numbers of  indigo Swamphens.  Yellow-tailed Blacks frequenty raid the conifers.  I am told that ordinary pedestrians may wander among the birdy-seeking gynecologists and diplomats provided their purpose is at least incidentally ‘tree study’ – a test that surely qualifies the average Canberra stroller.
