Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve

Gibraltar Peak is a mountain with an elevation of 1,038 metres (3,406 feet) AHD  that is located within the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, approximately 26.4 kilometres (16.4 miles) from Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory. Gibraltar Peak is the 45th highest mountain in the Australian Capital Territory. There are two tracks leading up to the summit of the mountain, the longer being 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) and the shorter being 8 kilometres (5.0 mi).

Corin Forest Mountain Resort (elevation 1200m) is a commercial ski field and tourist destination located in the Tidbinbilla Range, south-west of Canberra. Situated in a mountain ash forest near the Namadgi National Park. In winter, it offers Australia's most northerly lifted ski area, and the closest to the national capital of Canberra. A 1.2 km mountain slide operates in the warmer months.

The Tidbinbilla River, a perennial stream that is part of the Murrumbidgee catchment within the Murray–Darling basin, is located in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia.

Namadgi National Park is a protected area in the south-west of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), bordering Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales. It lies approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) southwest of Canberra, and occupies approximately 46 percent of the ACT's land area. Created in 1984, the park is on the Australian National Heritage List. It suffered badly in the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season, with around 80% of its vegetation burnt.

Gibraltar Creek, a perennial stream that is part of the Murrumbidgee catchment within the Murray-Darling basin, is located in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. There are several types of Greenhoods found along the creek's banks. Historical Aboriginal camp-sites have been also found on the creek banks.

The Gibraltar Falls are a cascade waterfall on the Gibraltar Creek, in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), approximately 50 kilometres (31 miles) from Canberra's city centre, The falls have a 50-metre (160-foot) drop.

The Bendora Dam is a thin-wall, double curvature concrete arch dam across the upper reaches of the Cotter River, located within Namadgi National Park in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The impounded reservoir is called the Bendora Reservoir which is a supply source of potable water for the city of Canberra and its environs.

The Bendora Gravity Main is a water main located in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Water in the water main travels 19.3 kilometres (12.0 mi) from the Bendora Dam via gravity to the treatment plant on Mount Stromlo, adjacent to the Cotter Dam pumping station, upstream from the confluence of the Cotter River with the Murrumbidgee River. Construction of the water main commenced in 1966 and was opened on 5 January 1968. Prior to the construction of the gravity main, water was stored in Bendora Dam and released down the Cotter River to the Cotter Dam. The gravity main is 1.6 metres (5 ft 3 in) in diameter and has been buried nearly the entire length of its construction. The water main has the capacity to carry 310 megalitres (68,000,000 imp gal; 82,000,000 US gal) of water per day.The Bendora Gravity Main also supplies the Mount Stromlo Hydro-Power Station.

The Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex (CDSCC) is a satellite communication station, part of the Deep Space Network of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), located at Tidbinbilla in the Australian Capital Territory. Opened in 1965, the complex was used for tracking the Apollo Lunar Module, and along with its two sister stations at Goldstone, California and Madrid, Spain is now used for tracking and communicating with NASA's spacecraft, particularly interplanetary missions. Its DSS-43 antenna is the only antenna on Earth that can send commands to Voyager 2. It is managed in Australia by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) for NASA’s Space Communications and Navigation program (SCaN) at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Cotter River is a district in the Australian Capital Territory in Australia.

Booroomba Rocks is a granite area in Namadgi National Park, in the Australian Capital Territory, particularly noted for its slab climbing. The rocks are divided into several areas, the most prominent being North Buttress, Middle Rocks, and South Buttress. It is also known for its botany. The area was first approached from Booroomba Station. However, it was not until Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station, and the associated Apollo Road were opened, that the area became feasible as a climbing area.

Pierces Creek is a former rural forestry settlement in the Australian Capital Territory which was managed by Housing ACT since the 1980s. The 13 homes at the settlement were destroyed during the 2003 Canberra bushfires and have never been rebuilt despite a proposal by the ACT Government in the mid-2000s. The Pierces Creek settlement was originally established as a semi-permanent camp in the 1920s to house workers in the surrounding forest plantations with permanent housing being constructed in the 1930s to attract men with their families to work in the industry. In the 1980s, the forestry industry had dramatically changed and workers were no longer required to live in the settlement and the management of the houses along with the existing tenants handed to Housing ACT. Tenants could not purchase their houses due to the settlement being zoned as "plantation forestry" under the National Capital Plan. Before the fire, the settlement consisted of: 13 housesBlacksmith's shopMature exotic plantingsSite OfficeDepotExplosives MagazineOrchardPlayground Along with the other former forestry settlements in the ACT (Stromlo & Uriarra), the settlement was virtually destroyed in the 2003 bushfires, displacing 12 families. Following the fire, the ACT government led by then Chief Minister Jon Stanhope proposed the construction of a "world class sustainable village with 50 houses". The proposed development required an amendment to the National Capital Plan. The National Capital Authority (NCA) responsible for the National Capital Plan rejected to amend the plan, stating that the settlement was too large and initially rejected the proposal, but agreed to amend the National Capital Plan to allow the former residents to purchase their houses from the ACT Government. The ACT Government instead proposed a settlement of 25 to 30 houses, however this too was rejected by the NCA. The NCA instead wanted a settlement of the original size of 13 homes to be rebuilt. However the proposal eventually fell through and the project was cancelled. After further clarification, the NCA was informed that the existing National Capital Plan allowed for the purchase of the homes and did not require to be amended, with Draft Amendment 51 – Pierces creek formally withdrawn on 10 December 2009. The settlement to this day has not been rebuilt. In 1991, a bushfire also destroyed $1.5 million worth of pine trees at Pierces Creek.
