Pine Island Reserve

Pine Island Reserve contains diverse ecosystems including woodlands, grasslands, and riverine environments alongside the Murrumbidgee River in the Australian Capital Territory.

Charles Throsby first explored this region in 1820 while searching for water sources, encountering the Murrumbidgee River near Pine Island in April 1821.

The reserve maintains important connections to Aboriginal heritage and serves as an educational space for learning about native Australian flora and fauna.

Visitors can access facilities including designated picnic areas, barbecues, drinking water stations, and restrooms while enjoying recreational activities like swimming and kayaking.

The location functions as an actual island exclusively during peak water flows of the Murrumbidgee River, creating temporary isolation within the landscape.
