Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Australian Capital Territory, Australia
The 54.5-square-kilometer protected area includes Tidbinbilla Mountain, Gibraltar range, and multiple walking trails through varied Australian landscapes.
The reserve received official protection status in 1971, following decades of conservation efforts that began with a koala enclosure construction in 1939.
The name derives from Ngunnawal word Jedbinbilla, marking the traditional location where Aboriginal communities conducted male initiation ceremonies.
Multiple walking paths accommodate different fitness levels, from family walks to Gibraltar Peak trail, with ranger-guided activities available throughout the reserve.
The reserve maintains breeding programs for endangered species, including the Northern Corroboree Frog and Eastern Bettong populations.
