Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve

Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve is an 829-hectare protected area located in north-eastern Canberra. A prominent hill known as 'Old Joe' on the ACT/NSW border is a feature of the reserve. Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve adjoins Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve to the north-west, and together these form a contiguous protected area extending across more than 18 km² of woodland.

Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve protects part of a large expanse of critically endangered Yellow Box–Blakely's Red Gum Grassy Woodland in the northern ACT, providing important wildlife habitat and a wildlife movement corridor linking through to the Majura Valley, the Molonglo River Valley and into NSW.

Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve also forms a crucial section of the 1,286-hectare, predator-proof wildlife enclosure known as Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary which is managed by the Woodlands and Wetlands Trust, a partnership bringing together the community the Australian National University (ANU) and the ACT Government. In 2019, an 801-hectare extension to the Sanctuary was created by extending the existing fence southward to include most of Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve (including the Throsby Offset Area) as well as an additional, smaller section of Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve.

Cycling is permitted only on management trails including the Centenary Trail.
