Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve

Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, on the fringe of Namadgi National Park, is a short drive from the city of Canberra, Australia. Tidbinbilla has a wide variety of bushwalks - ranging from 30 minutes, to over 6 hours. It also is a native habitat for kangaroos, wallabies, platypus, koalas, lyrebirds, emus and other wildlife. Ninety-nine percent of the park was burnt out in the Bendora bushfire of 18 January 2003 resulting in the loss of countless numbers of wildlife. Only one koala, six rock wallabies, five potoroos, four freckled ducks and nine black swans survived the bushfire.

The Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve is across the road from the Tidbinbilla Deep Space Tracking Station, part of the NASA Deep Space Network.

Walks available in the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve include:

• Fishing Gap Walk
• Gibraltar Rocks
• Mt Tidbinbilla
