We went to Jerrabomberra on Sunday. It is a disgrace. This wetland
is so close to the national capital, but nothing seems to be being
done to keep it in a respectable state. Tall hemlock weeds are
growing between the path and the swamp, as well as thistles and other
weeds. A visitor from Canada was there. We were ashamed of the
state that it is in. Of course, the birds don't mind
There were also still rabbits, despite the tearing up of their
warrens; and then the traps, with carrots, to entice them in
On the other side of the lake, in north Canberra, much money is being
spent to create a new wetland. How about looking after the one that
we have got? I read in the CT recently about a wetland near Pambula
which got an award for being, was it the best wetland in NSW? Jerra
bombera would get the wooden spoon.
Also, in recent BA news, the camp out near Scottsdale, in April, was
discussed. A possible visit to Jerrabomberra was mentioned. Who, at
the moment, is responsible for Jerrabomberra? That fancy new cycle
path, and bridge were constructed but nothing else has been done since
