Gubur Dhaura, also known as Gubur Dhaura Heritage Park is a small public park and historical site located in the Canberra suburb of Franklin, Australian Capital Territory. Gubur Dhaura means red ochre in the Ngunnawal language. Human activity at Gubur Dhaura is believed to span over 5000 years, with site used for quarrying activities by both the Ngunnawal and Ngarigu peoples and early European settlers. The site was listed on the Australian Capital Territory Heritage Register in 2011. It was opened to the public the same year following rehabilitation of native vegetation, construction of walking tracks as well as interpretive displays and signage providing information on its history. The park is located on an ironstone ridge, rising 642 m (2,106 ft) above sea level and 31 m (102 ft) above the surrounding basin. It covers an area of 6 ha (15 acres) and is a short walk from both Manning Clark North and Mapleton Avenue light rail stations
