Here’s just a few: Floriade, banks of Lake Burley Griffin, a variety of local wetland areas, along the banks of the Molonglo River, Tharwa, Gundaroo, Whitlam, O’Malley Pond, Queanbeyan River, Brindabellas, Whitlam, Googong, Black Mountain, and Hall Showground.
An email is sent out on Monday night to confirm the place and meeting spot (we have to check the weather for the next day).
