TIDBINBILLA NATURE RESERVE


Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve can be found south west of Canberra and it contains a vast number of excellent activities for all types. There are a number of long and short bushwalks. An old homestead can be hired to spend up to a week in the park and there are nature sanctuaries protected with predator proof fences where endangered species can thrive. The area is so vast that one day is certainly not enough to take in every aspect of the reserve. The trails are all well signposted and there are plenty of information boards throughout. It's now hard to imagine that this place was totally destroyed in the 2003 bushfires and thankfully, programmed and natural regeneration has occurred, though much of the damage can still be seen on trails where burnt trees still exist and split and peeled rocks that were exposed to the fierce heat can still be seen. The name Tidbinbilla was given as a name where aboriginal boys became men.

The visitor information centre features quite a large shop featuring books, souveniers and park paraphernalia plus a small cafeteria. Visitors to the park can pay for an annual visitors pass, costing up to $35.00 or a daily pass costing up to $12.00. There are discounts for seniors and concession card holders..
