WALK OF THE TUGGERANONG BOUNDARY WALL
Stretching its way west from the Tuggeranong Town Centre to the Murrumbidgee River is a 19th Century rural field stone wall that once separated Campbell's Yarralumla station from Cunningham's Tuggeranong. The wall is a reminder to me of Canberra's rural origins and of the resourcefulness and hard work of the men and women who first settled in the area.
This is some video I took today on a walk of the Tuggeranong Boundary Wall...
