Almost 40 people turned out for a guided tour of local travelling stock reserves (TSRs) on 23 August 2019. Run by expert naturalists including Rainer Rehwinkel and members of Friends of Grasslands, the all-day tour took in Sweeney’s, Duck Flat and Doughboy TSRs.

All three TSRs contain critically endangered ecological communities including snow-gum woodland (“Werriwa Tablelands Cool Temperate Grassy Woodland”) and the more well-known box-gum woodland (“White Box Yellow Box Blakely’s Red Gum Woodland”).


The tour marks the official start of an MCG project to save threatened woodland bird species including the scarlet robin and speckled warbler (project link). The 7-year project will involve weed control, rubbish removal and plantings on a total of six TSRs, well as work with local landholders and schools.

Acknowledgement of Country

The Molonglo catchment, crossing the NSW/ACT border, overlaps with a mix of traditional Aboriginal cultural boundaries and lines of connection, and statutory Aboriginal Land Council boundaries. The history of Aboriginal people is a living history and, in the present day, the NSW region is defined by Ngunawal traditional boundaries (spelt Ngunnawal by some clan groups and the ACT Government), traditional boundaries of the Gundungurra, Dharawal, Yuin, Ngarigo Aboriginal communities and the statutory boundaries of the Ngambri Aboriginal Land Council. In the ACT there are currently four Representative Aboriginal Organisations – Buru Ngunawal Aboriginal Corporation, Mirrabee, King Brown Tribal Group, and Ngarigo Currawong Clan. We acknowledge all Aboriginal custodians of this region. We acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and the contribution they make to the life that is within and around the Molonglo catchment.
