Martin, all
On Uriarra Road just past Mt Stromlo, heading west, there is a large sign that says something like “All parks and reserves from this point onwards are closed”. The Canberra Nature Park elements within
the urban parts of the ACT are not closed.

Steve

Ooops. I didn't realise that
there is no distance restriction in the ACT just the ad-hoc regions (which may have meant something a few decades ago).

I have no hopes at all that the Kingfisher will still be around when we are able to return to Canberra without 14 days hard at either end of the trip. To assiste people to make decisions about
whether they should make the effort or not I have used Google Earth to plot circles of 5km (red) and 10km (purple) around the approximate site the red-backed one is lurking .

Thanks Neil and Sue. I just hope that kingfisher has the decency to either hang around until I can cross the lake, or to take a turn over here for a while!

Hi everyone
Further to Neil's email about abiding by the ACT Govt's Covid rules ( "to exercise outdoors for two hours per day in your region" - see map), I
was working on a piece for the Oct issue of Gang-gang about where to bird during lockdown, but since it is another fortnight until that appears on the web, I decided to look back at Sandra's 'New Places' column that she has produced for Gang-gang since 2018.
To keep us all within our appropriate regions and for quick reference, I have copied and pasted Sandra's notes into a document for each region, listing places she has visited within those regions.
Also, to help me with my Gang-gang article, which hopefully will help get us through until October 15, I am looking for some more suggestions of where to exercise/bird in
your region. Yesterday I discovered the old Weetangera Cemetery as I walked from Hawker to Pegasus. Please send any suggestions to me by
Wed 29 Sept, briefly stating location, address or description of where to park, and particular birds to look out for.
Hope you find the attachments useful. (Tuggeranong has the biggest list because that is where Sandra lives).

Just a reminder that all birders should be aware of, and comply with, the ACT Government's directions concerning permissible outdoor activities. It reflects on all of us if some birders are not being seen to be responsible.
