“As a general rule of thumb National Parks are for people, Nature Reserves are for protecting the environment.”

Hence my query

Something that a lot of people are NOT aware of is that in most cases I know of, you actually need a permit to access Nature Reserves in NSW. There are a few exceptions, e.g. Barren Grounds NR and Nadgee NR but Nadgee only allows a limited number in at one time. I need a permit just to access The Charcoal Tank and Buddigower NRs where we are banding as well as a banding permit. Many Nature Reserves are quite small and set are up to protect something significant. One of the books that list where to find a certain bird species lists a small nature reserve that is there to protect a very rare orchid - nothing like having a whole lot of feet tramping through it when the orchids are flowering looking for a bird!! Round Hill is another reserve that is visited illegally!!

Think about it before you go charging into a Nature Reserve.

I've just come across a reference to this reserve (located between Gundaroo and Gunning). What do people know about it, is there access?
