A recent weekend in Canberra became a nature fix for this nature junkie.
45 minutes driving got us to
Tidbindilla Sanctuary, a large wetlands area surrounded by bushland.
A fence keeps out predators and provides sanctuary for a range of native animals in a lovely bush environment with walking trails leading through a series of interconnected habitats.
We only had a few hours at Tidbindilla. There is heaps more to see, so this was just an appetizer for me. I hope to return.

Going on my must-see list for the next time I'm down your way. Fabulous photos!
ReplyDeletethanks Bernie, I am very proud of these photos.
DeleteLooks like a great place to check out. I sometimes dream about visiting Australia. You have some of the most fantastic places to learn about....including the Outback but I know there is so much more:)
ReplyDeletehi Chris, I love the outback, haven't been there since I started blogging, maybe need to do a retrospective post ... I think it's not like anywhere else in the world ...
DeleteYour photos show a lovely calm, serene place to visit, for humans as well as the wildlife that is being protected, a wonderful place. Will look forward to more photos when you next visit.
ReplyDeletehi Pauline, yes - calm, serene is how it was, apart from a few noisy humans!
DeleteWhat a beautiful place! The US is facing the same wetland loss as Australia. Looks like heaven for the wildlife. :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy, wetland loss everywhere, fortunately also conservation projects like this one everywhere too.
DeleteYour pictures of this wild place are stunning and capture its natural beauty...I love the light blue green almost white colors.
ReplyDeletethanks so much Donna, it was an amazingly photographable place.
Deletethere's something about a landscape with water. My father taught me to enjoy reflections, he was a photographer, after a work-day of civil engineering.
ReplyDeletehi Diana, yes - since I got into photography I am now much more aware of light and also the possibilities with water.
DeleteWhat an amazing place to visit. The grasses and water look so restful.
ReplyDeletethanks for the visit and comment, DD.
DeleteLooks like you have a wonderful time there!
ReplyDeletethanks Diana, yes it was a wonderful long weekend break.
DeleteHow beautiful! Hope to get there someday, too.
ReplyDeletelong way for you J, but I recommend it.
DeleteThis looks like a wonderful place to visit. I love the cool neutral tones of the rocks and water in your photographs.
ReplyDeletethanks Jennifer, that place was a photographer's dream.
DeleteVery special indeed and care should indeed be taken to preserve such an area.
ReplyDeleteHi Alastair, thank goodness that bit at least is being preserved.
DeleteWow, what a beautiful place. Serene and gorgeous. Like the uplifting message.
ReplyDeleteIt must have been a screw loose in the operator last time I tried I am very glad to be here - and note that we took many of the same photos. A truly beautiful place.
