Ginninderra is derived from the Aboriginal word, meaning "sparkling" or "throwing little rays of light".[1] The traditional custodians of the land surrounding Ginninderra Creek are the Aboriginal people of the Ngunnawal tribe. CourseGinninderra Creek rises on the northern border between the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and New South Wales (NSW), sourced from the Spring Range, located north-east of Hall. The creek flows generally south-west across the Ginninderra Plain, through the Gungahlin and Belconnen regions in Canberra, and then heads west crossing the western border between the ACT and flowing into NSW, towards its confluence with the Murrumbidgee River. The creek descends {{convert|168|m}} over its {{convert|23|km}} course.[2] Ginninderra Creek is impounded by Gungahlin Pond and Lake Ginninderra,[2] a man-made lake that was constructed in 1974 to act as a sedimentation pond.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} The creek flows over the Ginninderra Falls, descending {{convert|41|m}}, and through Ginninderra Gorge, to its confluence with the Murrumbidgee River. The catchment of Ginninderra Creek covers approximately {{convert|32000|ha}}.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} The Ginninderra Creek catchment carries approximately a quarter of Canberra's urban runoff, and there is considerable risk of runoff from urban areas harming aquatic ecosystems in the Murrumbidgee River system.{{citation needed|date=February 2013}} RecreationGinninderra Falls is a popular scenic tourist destination,[3] opened initially as a private tourist park from the late 1990s.[4] John Gale argued that the Ginninderra Falls were so pretty that Canberra should be chosen as the capital city of Australia, rather than the proposal to choose Dalgety as the location for the national capital.[5] From mid-2011 onwards, advocacy began for the establishment of a national park containing the Ginninderra Falls, comprising {{convert|900|ha}} and covering both ACT and NSW, inclusive of the existing {{convert|200|ha}} Woodstock Nature Reserve in the ACT.[4][6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.actpla.act.gov.au/tools_resources/maps_land_survey/place_names/place_search?sq_content_src=%2BdXJsPWh0dHAlM0ElMkYlMkYyMDMuOS4yNDkuMyUyRlBsYWNlTmFtZXMlMkZQbGFjZURldGFpbHMuYXNweCUzRm9iamVjdElEJTNENTE3MjUmYWxsPTE%3D |title=Ginninderra Creek |work=Place name search |publisher=Government of the Australian Capital Territory |date= |accessdate=14 February 2013 }} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web |url=http://www.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&cmd=sp&p=200362&st=&s=Ginninderra%20Creek |title=Map of Ginninderra Creek, ACT |work=Bonzle.com |date= |accessdate=14 February 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.nationaltrust.org.au/act/GinninderraFallsWalk |title=Ginninderra Falls Walk |work=Current region Information: Australian Capital Territory |publisher=National Trust of Australia |date= |accessdate=14 February 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130425133959/http://www.nationaltrust.org.au/act/GinninderraFallsWalk |archivedate=25 April 2013 |df=dmy }} 4. ^1 {{cite news |author=Tim the Yowie Man |url=http://www.smh.com.au/travel/blogs/yowie-man/ginninderra-falls-for-all-of-us-20120711-21veg.html |title=Ginninderra Falls for all of us |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=30 July 2011 |accessdate=13 February 2013}} 5. ^{{cite book |title=Exploring the ACT and Southeast New South Wales |author=McDonald, J.
