📍 Ginninderra Falls Reserve, Hall ACT 2618
A hidden gem just 20 minutes from Canberra's CBD, Ginninderra Falls Reserve near Hall features a picturesque 12-metre waterfall, swimming hole, and a network of short bush tracks through native woodland. Free to visit with a short 1km walk from the car park. Popular for picnics on warm days — the grassy flats beside the creek are perfect for kids. A wonderful escape from the city that most visitors (and even many locals) don't know about.
