Royal Canberra Golf Club
Royal Canberra Golf Club is the custodian of the Westbourne Woods Arboretum. Westbourne Woods flourished under favourable circumstances and seasons until the early 1940’s. Between 1941 and 1944, Canberra experienced a prolonged and harsh drought which, coupled with the wartime shortage of manpower and materials, left the arboretum in a sorry state. Botanists, horticulturalists and conservationists became very concerned about the ability of the arboretum to survive without the provision of water to maintain reasonable soil moisture levels in times of drought.
