Different study of the National Arboretum Canberra.
It's a chilly winter morning.
Yearly sun coloured our mountains pink and skies golden-yellow. Huge cloud of fog gently travels between trees and all the Arboretum covered in sparkling frost. Sugar Maple Trees in Forest 16, still holding on to their brown leaves and Ginkgo Dam reflects the colourful painting of the sky.
It's a large 37.2 megalitre capacity dam. The dams at the Arboretum – are supplemented by water conservation and harvesting strategies including mulching, living ground covers, leaking weirs, irrigation systems connected to a bore and large storage and irrigation tanks.
So much work is done at the Arboretum behind the scene for us to enjoy this unique place!
