Mount Taylor Nature Reserve covers 300 hectares in Canberra’s south, with a network of walking tracks winding through one of the ACT’s largest remaining areas of grassy woodland. Popular for bushwalking, trail running, birdwatching, and nature photography, it’s an easy place to escape the city without travelling far. The reserve is home to a wide variety of native wildlife, including colourful parrots, honeyeaters, and, in spring, beautiful displays of wildflowers that dot the landscape.
