The Gudgenby River flows at the base of the mountain. ==Location and features== Mount Tennent is named after a local bushranger, John Tennant who had a hideout on the slopes of the mountain in 1827. It had previously been named Mount Currie by Allan Cunningham after Captain Mark Currie, who led the first European expedition nearby (Fraser and McJannett) in 1823. Indigenous Australians refer to the mountain as ''Tharwa'', also the name of the village at the northern foot of the mountain. In 2004, ACTEW announced that the creation of a large reservoir by damming the Gudgenby River below Mount Tennent, was one of three options being considered as part of the ''Future Water Options Project'' in order to provide improved reliability and increased supply of potable water for Canberra and the ACT. By 2005, the ACT Government decided that the creation of the Mount Tennent dam would not proceed; in favour enlarging the Cotter Dam.
