Brindabellas

The Brindabella Range, often referred to as the Brindabellas, is a mountain range in southeastern Australia. It forms part of the Australian Alps and lies on the border between New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. The name "Brindabella" is believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "two cockatoos". The highest peak in the range is Mount Ginini, reaching an elevation of 1,759 meters (5,771 feet).

The Brindabellas are known for their scenic beauty, characterized by rolling hills, eucalyptus forests, and alpine meadows. The natural environment supports a diverse range of flora and fauna, including various species of kangaroos, wallabies, and native birds. Several walking trails traverse the range, offering opportunities for hiking and experiencing the natural landscape. The region experiences distinct seasons, with warm summers and cold, snowy winters, making it a popular destination for outdoor activities throughout the year. The Brindabella National Park in New South Wales and Namadgi National Park in the Australian Capital Territory protect significant portions of the range.
