Bonython is a suburb of Tuggeranong, a township
in southern Canberra, capital city of Australia.
Bonython is an elongate suburb, straddling the
eastern and northern sides of Mount Stranger, a
low hillside (altitude 660 metres asl) that rises
about 100 metres above the Tuggeranong valley
floor. Stranger Pond sits at the northern end of the
suburb, formed by a manmade dam
across a natural drainage channel. The Pond
surroundings were landscaped early during the
suburb’s construction and have now become a
focus for a variety of native wildlife, including black
swans, pelicans and kangaroos. Bonython adjoins
the suburbs of Greenway to the north,
Isabella Plains to the east and Gordon to the
south. On the western side of Bonython is a
nature reserve bordering the Murrumbidgee
River.
