The National Arboretum Canberra is a 250-hectare arboretum in Canberra, the national capital of Australia, created after the area was burned out as a result of the Christmas 2001 and 2003 Canberra bushfires: The Himalayan cedar forest lost about one third of its trees, and the commercial radiata pine plantation was burned out, allowing the arboretum to be created. National Arboretum Canberra is situated 1½ km north of Scrivener Dam.
