The Gamilaroi Nature Reserve is a protected nature reserve, part of the southern Brigalow Belt, that is located in the North West Slopes region of New South Wales, in eastern Australia. The 113-hectare (280-acre) reserve is situated 48 kilometres (30 mi) southeast of Moree, and about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south of Terry Hie Hie, at an elevation of 340 metres (1,120 ft) above sea level. The reserve is one of seven sites in the state where ooline occurs naturally. For this reason, the reserve is not promoted for recreation; and visits are not encouraged.[2]
The name Gamilaroi is a name for the local Kamilaroi, the Indigenous people of the area.[3]
