Bendora Arboretum

A rather isolated and desolate arboretum established in 1940 as an experiment to see what trees should be planted in Canberra. There are now 52 species and is popular with bushwalkers. However, bringing your car here, even nearby is very difficult, and this can take over 90 minutes at the very minimum from Civic – first, you'll need to navigate through the northwest of Country ACT to Brindabella Road. Once you're on Brindabella Road, continue until just past the NSW border, and from there, turn onto Mount Franklin Road until the trailhead, straddling across the border. The walk at the arboretum is a grade 2 walk and is 5 km return.
