Moncrieff is a suburb in the Gungahlin district of Canberra, the National Capital of Australia. The name was gazetted in April 1991, with initial land releases becoming available to developers in June 2014. It is named after Gladys Moncrieff, an Australian singer of the 1920-1930s musical era who was dubbed 'Australia's Queen of Song'. The suburb is in north Gungahlin, adjacent to the existing suburbs of Ngunnawal and Amaroo and the future suburbs of Taylor and Jacka. The suburb is located approximately 4 km from the Gungahlin Town Centre and 16 km from the centre of Canberra, and is bounded by Mirrabei Drive and Horse Park Drive. It is home to the Moncrieff Community Recreation Park, which was voted the ACT's favourite playground in 2021.Like most new Canberra suburbs, it is a cat containment area: all cats have to be kept inside the cat owner's property and within an enclosure if outside.

One Tree Hill is a peak near the village of Hall and the Canberra suburb of Taylor. Its trigonometrical station lies on the border between the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales, Australia. It is at the north-eastern end of the longest straight-line section of the border, with Mount Coree at the south-western end. North and east of One Tree Hill, the border is formed by the watershed of the Molonglo River catchment. One-Tree Trigonometrical Station is nominated in the description of the Australian Capital Territory, in the Second Schedule of the Seat of Government Acceptance Act 1909. In 2022, it was announced that there would negotiations on a change to the straight-line section of the border; the border south-west from One Tree Hill will follow the current straight line, but only to the point where it intersects Ginninderra Creek. The other straight-line from Mount Coree will end at the Murrumbidgee River, with the land enclosed by the right bank of the Murrumbidgee and the left bank of Ginninderra Creek to become part of the ACT.One Tree Hill lies on the traditional lands of Ngunnawal people.Robert Dixon in 1830 and Robert Hoddle, between 1830 and 1836, used One Tree Hill as a high point from where to view the area and as a landmark from which they took bearings, while surveying the area.It was the location at which Charles Scrivener began his detailed topographical survey of the area for the new capital site of Canberra.
