About Bullen Range Nature Reserve
Bullen Range Nature Reserve is a protected bushland reserve on the western edge of Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory. Part of Canberra Nature Park, it covers rugged hills and ridges between the Murrumbidgee River and the Tuggeranong Valley. The reserve protects dry open forest, woodland and native grassland and is valued for biodiversity conservation, landscape connectivity and low-impact nature recreation near the city.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a remote, undeveloped natural setting with steep ridges, open eucalypt forest, woodland and grassy slopes. There are informal walking tracks and management trails for bushwalking and nature observation, with views over the Murrumbidgee River corridor and surrounding ranges. Facilities are minimal and the area is largely undisturbed, offering birdwatching, wildlife viewing and photography in a quiet bushland environment west of central Canberra.
