Uriarra Crossing is located on the Uriarra Road in the northwest of the Australian Capital Territory a distance of 17km west-northwest from Canberra. Originally a punt was used to cross over. It is now a low level concrete bridge crossing the Murrumbidgee River and heading to Brindabella Road, grazing land and the mountains beyond.

In the grounds of Uriarra Station there is a flat rock which has been identified by archaeologists as a cooking stone often used to cook the very tasty Bogong moth (ref here (pdf). The area has both Aboriginal and colonial history... I am still researching it.
