Evatt Bike Path Little Library
A charming, community-run street library built as a vibrant mosaic artwork by two local ceramic artists. Serving as a creative landmark along the busy suburban bike path, this grassroots initiative doubles as an active neighborhood gathering space. A public table and bench seating are set up directly opposite the library, offering a dedicated rest stop for walkers and cyclists tackling the hill climb. The immediate area frequently hosts casual pop-up community events, including neighborhood breakfasts, acoustic music gatherings, and weekend plant or fresh home-grown vegetable stalls.

Evatt Wetlands & Ginninderra Creek Trail
An expansive, eco-restored urban nature reserve stretching along the western arm of Ginninderra Creek immediately below the Lake Ginninderra spillway. It incorporates the tranquil Croke Place Wetlands—a series of man-made sediment ponds and reed beds designed to filter urban stormwater and provide a sanctuary for local frogs and waterbirds. Hardened dirt and gravel walking tracks wind through open native grasslands, ivy-covered tree glades, and hidden stepping-stone creek crossings. Highly popular for off-leash dog walking, rugged birdwatching, and quiet family walks away from the main lake loops. No public toilets on-site.

Historic Belconnen Naval Transmitting Station
Bells Naval Station
Commissioned in April 1939 on the absolute eve of the Second World War, this historic site—affectionately known to military telegraphists as "Bells"—was once the most powerful long-distance naval wireless base in the British Empire. Working alongside HMAS Harman, its high-powered transmitters broadcasted encrypted Morse code commands to Allied warships and submerged submarines across the Pacific and Indian Oceans. While its three legendary, 600-foot-tall steel aerial towers were dismantled when the facility decommissioned in 2005, the heavy concrete Transmitting Hall, mechanical generator rooms, and military guard houses are safely preserved on the Commonwealth Heritage List. The open perimeter doubles as a critical, untouched reservation for the endangered native Golden Sun Moth.
