There are several types of Greenhoods found along the creek's banks. Historical Aboriginal camp-sites have been also found on the creek banks. Location and featuresGibraltar Creek rises on the eastern slopes of the Brindabella Ranges in the south-west of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), below Billy Billy Rocks in Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve, within Namadgi National Park. The creek flows generally north-east before reaching its confluence with Paddys River, south-west of Tuggeranong Town Centre. The creek descends {{convert|774|m}} over its {{convert|13|km}} course.[1][2] Gibraltar Falls are found on the Gibraltar Creek;[2] and Gibraltar Creek Woods Reserve are located on the creek's edge.[3]Wildlife and vegetationVegetation found on the banks of the creek include threatened flora such as the Scarlet Greenhoods, Fisch's Greenhood, Faint Greenhoods, Nodding Greenhoods and Maroonhoods.[4] E. callianassa, Banksia and B. marginata have been found in the creek.[5] In 1930, the Cotter River was stocked with New Zealand trout, which were expected to migrate up the tributaries including the creek.[6][7] HistoryHistorical Aboriginal camp-sites have been found on the creek banks.[8] In 1863, land abutting the creek was sold at auction.[9] During late 1933 and early 1934, the river flooded several times and made it difficult to cross the creek. A motion was made to Australia's Minister for the Interior to cement over the creek bed to make crossing during the flood more feasible.[10] By 1934, ramps had been added to assist in crossing the creek, replacing gates that had been placed there for cattle crossings.[11] Bushwalkers organised walks alongside the creek in the 1950s.[12] In 1954, hikers got lost in the area and a search for them took place near the creek.[13] In 1957, a teenager was shot while hiking near the creek.[14] References{{portal|Australian Capital Territory}}1. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.bonzle.com/c/a?a=p&p=200055&cmd=sp |title=Map of Gibraltar Creek, ACT |work=Bonzle.com |date= |accessdate=13 February 2013 }} {{Rivers of the Australian Capital Territory |state=autocollapse}}2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.visitcanberra.com.au/Things-to-do-and-see/Outdoor-and-nature/Business-Details-Page.aspx?ID=9003040&Title=Gibraltar+Falls |title=Gibraltar Falls |publisher=Visit Canberra |accessdate=26 October 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20121024063932/http://www.visitcanberra.com.au/Things-to-do-and-see/Outdoor-and-nature/Business-Details-Page.aspx?ID=9003040&Title=Gibraltar+Falls |archivedate=24 October 2012 |df=dmy }} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.tams.act.gov.au/play/pcl/get_out_there/camping/woods_reserve |title=Woods Reserve |work=Territory and Municipal Services |publisher=Government of the Australian Capital Territory |accessdate=26 October 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120416041611/http://www.tams.act.gov.au/play/pcl/get_out_there/camping/woods_reserve |archivedate=16 April 2012 |df=dmy }} 4. ^{{cite book |first1=Ian |last1=Fraser |first2=Peter |last2=Marsack |title=A Bush Capital Year: A Natural History of the Canberra Region |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IqE_MDNL8PkC&pg=PA54 |accessdate=26 October 2012 |date=1 February 2011 |publisher=CSIRO Publishing |isbn=978-0-643-10224-8 |pages=54–56}} 5. ^{{cite book |author=IFB Common |title=Oecophorine Genera of Australia I: The Wingia Group (Lepidoptera: Oecophoridae) |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=yHjX2Ugy3MQC&pg=PA145 |accessdate=26 October 2012 |date=1 January 1994 |publisher=CSIRO Publishing |isbn=978-0-643-10581-2 |pages=145–}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2332173 |title=Re-stocking streams |newspaper=The Canberra Times |date=20 September 1930 |accessdate=26 October 2012 |page=6 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2904171 |title=Angled Asked T[?] Protect Breeding Areas |newspaper=The Canberra Times |date=30 September 1954 |accessdate=26 October 2012 |page=6 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite book |first=Josephine |last=Flood |title=The riches of ancient Australia: an indispensable guide for exploring prehistoric Australia |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=k9x8AAAAMAAJ |accessdate=26 October 2012 |year=1999 |publisher=University of Queensland Press |isbn=978-0-7022-3083-7 |page=305}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=AfEPAAAAIBAJ&sjid=DpEDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4528,5094362&dq=gibraltar-creek+australia&hl=en |title=Important Country Investment |date=5 August 1863 |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |page=6}} 10. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2328247 |title=Advisory Council |newspaper=The Canberra Times |date=16 January 1934 |accessdate=26 October 2012 |page=2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 11. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2363139 |title=Advisory Council Meeting |newspaper=The Canberra Times |date=17 July 1934 |accessdate=26 October 2012 |page=4 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 12. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article2903499 |title=What people are doing |newspaper=The Canberra Times |date=15 December 1953 |accessdate=26 October 2012 |page=4 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 13. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=HdRVAAAAIBAJ&sjid=YscDAAAAIBAJ&pg=2427,7100362&dq=gibraltar-creek+australia&hl=en |date=22 April 1954 |title=Fears Grow for Hikers Lost in the Blue Mountains |page=1 |location=Australia}} 14. ^{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=139WAAAAIBAJ&sjid=1-QDAAAAIBAJ&pg=6220,3375200&dq=gibraltar-creek+australia&hl=en |date=16 June 1957 |title=Hiking Youth Shot |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |page=2}} 2 : Rivers of the Australian Capital Territory|Murray-Darling basin |
