I'm not sure that free range wandering is encouraged- at least it
wasn't when I tried with a phone call to the Golf Club to a year or so
back.
However, every month, on the second Sunday, a small group walk is held
- arranged, I think, by keen ex members of either Forestry ,or
Yarrumlumla Nursery.
Meet informally at the Gulf Club main entrance at 9.30 am. Ive been
once (didnt see many birds, but learnt a lot about trees) and will go
again- well worth while- lasts 1-2 hrs.

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.
