Goorooyarroo Parish is a parish of Murray County, New South Wales, a cadastral unit for use on land titles.
It is located to the north-east of the Australian Capital Territory.
About a third of the parish was transferred to the Federal Capital Territory (later renamed the Australian Capital Territory) in 1909, [1] which included what is now the northern suburbs of Gungahlin.
A small part of the New South Wales electoral districts of Monaro and Burrinjuck were in the parish as of 2007 [update] as mentioned in their electoral district profiles. [2] [3]
The parish's name is commemorated by two areas of nature reserve, each called Goorooyarroo (NSW) and Mulligan's Flat / Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve (ACT), which were originally part of the parish. [4]
In Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve within the ACT, the Mulligan's Flat - Goorooyarroo Woodland Experiment is conducting research into remnant plant and animal life in the area, notably reintroduction of the eastern bettong ( marsupial) and brown treecreeper (bird), and remnant yellow box ( Eucalyptus melliodora) and Blakely's red gum ( Eucalyptus blakelyi). This study is led from the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University, along with involvement from the CSIRO and ACT Government. [5]
