Unusual for a national capital, more than 40 per cent of
the Australian Capital Territory is covered by national
park. The park includes high plateaus, mountain streams,
thick forest and grasslands.
Bush on the doorstep
Canberra is often called the Bush Capital. One of the favourite
reserves is Canberra Nature Park - 27 areas ranging from
bushland hills to lowland native grassland. Enjoy the wildflowers
and views.
Birdwatching paradise
Right in the middle of Canberra, on the edge of Lake Burley
Griffin, is the wildlife refuge of Jerrabomberra Wetlands.
Migrating waterbirds can be seen at dawn or dusk at dedicated
paths and hides.
Undisturbed nature
Namadgi is the Aboriginal name for the mountains that provide
a spectacular backdrop to the city of Canberra. The mountains
are home to Aboriginal rock art sites and to the stories
of early settlers.
