Why it's worth checking out
Echidna Gate sits on Pipistrelle Street in Throsby, in Canberra's Gungahlin district, a gateway to the local nature reserves. A 4.5 rating from 8 reviews marks it as a much-loved spot.
The appeal is lovely bushland and nature — a walking access point into native bush and reserve, a genuine favourite for a walk, some fresh air, wildlife and connecting with the outdoors in the handy Throsby area. It's a lovely, free outing.
