Canberra is very fortunate to have many picturesque walking tracks and paths, both within the city and in the surrounding areas. In January, members of the Jamison Probus enjoyed a walk that began at the Yacht Club, followed by the edge of Lotus Bay, and continued through the beautiful Beijing Garden. The garden was a centennial gift from the Beijing Municipal Government to the people of Canberra, celebrating the significance of its sister-city relationship. It features a traditional Chinese gate to welcome visitors, and its paths meander past sculptures crafted using Chinese stone masonry.
Abiding the light-hearted adage, “Life’s short, eat dessert first,” the Jamison Probus walkers enjoyed ice cream before ordering a seafood dinner from Snapper at the Canberra Yacht Club.
