Gibbergunyah Reserve, located in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, preserves an area of Australia’s native bushland characterised by dry sclerophyll forest and igneous rock formations known as Bowral trachyte. The name “Gibbergunyah” is believed to be of Indigenous origin.

The reserve’s vegetation includes native tree species such as Peppermint, Silvertop Ash, Grey Gum, and Stringybark with tall Eucalyptus species forming the dominant tree canopy. The understorey features various wildflowers such as Dipodium roseum (Rosy Hyacinth Orchid), large mature Banksia shrubs and a diversity of fungi.

Gibbergunyah Reserve is an important contribution to the regional ecosystem of the Southern Highlands and of immense value to the wider Highlands community with access via fire trails and walking tracks. A freshwater creek, located in the central gully, provides a critical resource for wildlife. The Glen Track, also situated within the gully, is currently being reclaimed by nature and now largely impassable.

These landscape photographs offer a unique visual journey, providing a glimpse of this valuable and ecologically significant location. Each print aims to capture the distinctive character of the dry sclerophyll forest, the grandeur of the eucalyptus canopy and the intricate details of the understorey, allowing you to bring a piece of this remarkable Australian bushland into your home.
