Cotter Precinct, Murrumbidgee Nature Corridor is the term used on Google maps for the area between Casuarina Sands and the Cotter Dam. The area is not far from my home and is a popular recreation area for people living in Canberra, although the temperature is still too cool for most people to think of water sports. My original plans did not materialise for Saturday but the weather was so beautiful I still wanted to head outside. This area seemed to be the perfect choice as it was an easy drive and I wanted to walk a short trail I had seen on a previous visit. I am so glad I went as I had a memorable encounter with an Emu. This area is not known for Emus and I was not expecting one, so seeing that bird in that location was truly an unexpected thrill. I hope you enjoy the photographs below.
