03.08.2009 - Canberra Arboretum


250 hectares dedicated to cultivating endangered species of trees and plants.
Dr Cris Brack is away in Australia in the moment and as a part of his travels he will be meeting ACT Government officials, CSIRO, and Australian Commonwealth Government representatives about the how they can all contribute to the project.

The Arboretum is a fantastic idea that shows what innovation and vision can achieve for a city.

"The goal is to create a place of outstanding beauty, of international standard and interest, that is a destination and recreational resource in its own right, and which is welcoming to locals and visitors alike."

This is a brilliant idea and one that will really put Canberra on the map (apart from the weather!)
