Tinderry Nature Reserve is 40 km south of Queanbeyan in New South Wales.
Tinderry protects the highest and most spectacular part of the Tinderry Range in the Southern Tablelands.
Huge granite monoliths characterise the landscape, and the woody grassland vegetation provides habitat for koalas and other native wildlife.
Eastern Grey Kangaroos are common in the nature reserve as are many bird species including Crimson Rosellas, Laughing Kookaburras and Wedge-tailed Eagles.
Vulnerable species found in the reserve include Gang-Gang Cockatoos, Scarlet and Flame Robins, and the Eastern Pygmy-possum.
Tinderry Nature Reserve is traditionally part of Ngarigo Indigenous territory. The Ngarigo used the area for annual summer feasts and the ceremonial collection of bogong moths.
Private property surrounds this park, so access is limited. Informal access and parking for a small number of cars is possible at Round Flat on Tinderry Road and Cassidys Creek on Burra Road.
