Rich in Aboriginal and European history, Namadgi National Park provides a spectacular mountainous backdrop to Canberra. It covers 45% of the Australian Capital Territory and its rivers supply 85% of Canberra and Queanbeyan's water—an important consideration in the selection of Canberra as Australia's capital. Namadgi lies at the northern end of the Australian Alps, which extend through southern New South Wales to Victoria. In winter, enjoy cross-country skiing and other snow activities. At other times, explore the numerous walking tracks. The Visitor Center provides further information and has an excellent display on the park.
