National Parks and Reserves

See koalas, kangaroos, birds, reptiles and more in the natural setting of Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, just a 45-minute drive from the Canberra CBD.

Keep an eye open for wandering wallabies and emus, and you may even catch a glimpse of an elusive platypus!

There are 24 marked trails at Tidbinbilla – ranging from a 15-minute walk to full-day hikes.

The kids will love the Nature Discovery Playground, and you’ll love the idyllic picnic spots, barbecue areas and fresh open air.

School holidays are also a great time to visit with regular kids’ activities to keep the little ones busy!

Maps and brochures are available outside the Visitor Centre for those who need them. There is limited reception at the reserve, so the Visitor Centre Wi-Fi will be maintained to support communications. Tidbinbilla Visitor Information staff can still be contacted via phone, or for more information, visit the Tidbinbilla website.
