Not bendora either. Not too many other bodies of water like this in the ACT

Part of ACT water supply, so I assumed within their border. Should have checked the map

I didn't think you were that far from the impoundment.
Staying in the ACT. Might be hard but a couple of clues are in the photo.
The small lake has lots of bird life but is unnamed, just name the reserve:

You are actually both really close. Chev is literally across the road, so I will give it to him.
The is Mulanggari Grasslands Reserve, next to Gungaderra.
We were staying in the Canberra CBD, so I took a trip to Gungahlin on the light rail to have a walk there.
Over to Chev.

Thanks John. Staying in the ACT, this is a similar view of Black Mountain but from a different reserve.

Not Aranda, but the reserve I'm in does take its name from an inner suburb.

It's O'Connor Ridge, but contiguous with Bruce so I'll take that. Over to you again John.

This creek junction is like a title fight between two 80s world champion heavyweight boxers.. one fictitious and one notorious (and the latter still going).

Different view from my recollection, but it's been a while.
