Tuggeranong Hill, Natural summit in Tuggeranong Valley, Australia.
Tuggeranong Hill is a wooded summit near Canberra with a peak elevation of around 874 meters. A walking track winds through the reserve, passing through woodland areas to reach the top.
The nature reserve was established in 1993 to protect native woodland that survived after nearby farm estates were developed. The area held significance for indigenous communities for countless generations.
The Ngunnawal people have deep roots in this landscape, with grinding marks on rocks showing their long presence here. Walking through the reserve, visitors can see these marks and understand how meaningful this place has been for its original inhabitants.
Access to the walking track starts at the Callister Crescent car park and follows a clearly marked route with moderate inclines. The path is easy to walk and requires no special skills or equipment.
The reserve is home to rare bird species like Glossy Black-cockatoos and contains threatened woodland types. This mix of uncommon wildlife and plant life makes the place valued by nature watchers.
