Lowden Forest Park is situated in the Tallaganda Forest approximately 40kms
south-east of Queanbeyan. This forest straddles the Great Dividing Range
beginning about 10km south of the Bungendore/Braidwood Road, and extends down
the range for a distance of nearly 50kms. A great variety of vegetation is
is reflected, ranging from dry, open woodland, forests of scribbly gum, ash
and peppermint to forests of brown barrel, messmate and ribbon gum. This area
is also host to a variety of native animals. Logging is still carried out on
a limited scale.
