How do you say 'around', as in "Walk around Lake Burley Griffin" I have looked into it, but I can't find the answer.

So, let's talk about noun phrases that might be used to express the concept of a walk around something.

> xx
>
> xx
>
> xx

> xx

The first two are most commonly used in terms of a predesigned course or trail that you might take around something. All these terms can be used with standard verbs such as or . However, there is a special verb that can be used to indicate completion of a walk {}, specifically for the first two examples.

> xx

> xx ( or )

For going around the world (obviously you can't do it all by walking), it seems the more common way to say you completed it would be :
