SWAMP CREEK

Public BBQ

Uriarra Crossing delivers a classic Australian river escape just 30 minutes from Canberra's CBD. The Murrumbidgee River flows beneath the crossing, creating swimming holes that prove refreshingly welcome on scorching summer days. Barbecue facilities and fire pits anchor the picnic areas, where families gather under the shade while water-loving dogs bound between towels and riverbank. Walking trails branch from either side of the crossing, winding through natural bushland where wild blackberries grow alongside the paths,thorny but rewarding for those willing to brave the prickles. The setting accommodates everything from casual afternoon swims to full-day picnics, with public toilets on site. Pack drinking water, as none is available, and bring towels for post-swim lounging. The location handles groups equally well as quiet family outings, offering that rare combination of accessibility and genuine bush atmosphere that makes visitors return repeatedly throughout summer.
