Stromlo burning
Oldest to Newst
Barrenjoey Drive, while technically part of Stromlo Forest, is at the peninsula on the western side of the lake between the lookout opposite the Governor General’s and the old museum site… a long way from Mt Stromlo.
And some feedback for the ESA… the ACT Handy Map grid is not a very useful reference for purposes such as this because the grid sqares cover a reasonably big area (eg all of Weston Creek). Hmmm, has anyone there ever heard of Google maps??
