Rob Roy Range Nature Reserve

A large reserve south of the capital and part of Canberra Nature Park

Rob Roy Range Nature Reserve is a large, protected area adjoining the southern tip of Canberra's suburbs. The reserve is 2,017 hectares or more than 20 km² in area, is largely forested and includes both leased and unleased land. Mount Rob Roy is the reserve's high point at 1,094 m above sea level.

Rob Roy Range Nature Reserve has important habitat connectivity with Tuggeranong Hill and Melrose nature reserves to the north, Gigerline Nature Reserve on the Murrumbidgee River and Namadgi National Park, both to the south, as well as with Googong Foreshores and Tinderry Nature Reserve, eastwards in NSW. Interconnection such as this enables wildlife movement across the landscape.

A steep management trail offers great views of southern Tuggeranong and the Murrumbidgee River valley. Big Monks (916 m above sea level), a trigonometric survey point prominent from the suburb of Banks, is also accessible from this trail.

Significant northern and central sections of the reserve are on leased land and closed to the public. Access to these areas is restricted to the lessee and people authorised by the lessee.

No dogs or horses are allowed.
