Scabby Range Nature Reserve
The 3400 hectare Scabby Range Nature Reserve lies cradled in the south-west of Namadgi National Park about 25 kilometres from Adminaby and 55 kilometres from Canberra. Much of the reserve is above 1600 metres with the highest peak being Mt Scabby (1798 metres).
Recreation
Access to the reserve is very limited, the only road access being a dry-weather 4WD fire trail. Bushwalking and rock climbing are the most common recreational activities.
No developments are planned for Scabby Range.
Cultural heritage
Aboriginal use of the area seems to be associated with extensive use of the Gudgenby area (Namadgi National Park), where rock shelters and art sites have been recorded.
Remains of old stock yards in Sams Creek Valley are indicative of the relatively recent European occupation.
Animals
Animals found in the reserve include grey kangaroos, red-necked wallabies, ringtail possums, southern bush rats, broad-toothed rats and at least 35 bird species.
