A Walk and an Ice Cream Break in Canberra

10 Feb 2026

Jamison Probus members enjoyed a walk from Yacht Club to Beijing Garden, then enjoyed ice cream and seafood, celebrating Canberra’s scenic paths and sister-city charm.

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.
