Access
Best access for the Southern section of Moss Tank Flora and Fauna Reserve is off Finlayson Road. Click on a P in the map for directions or coordinates. Park vehicle here and walk in, drive in though tracks not maintained.
The northern section is accessed off Mosstank-Wemen Road. You can drive in along a rough track to most of the section, though again these are not maintained tracks and could be blocked by fallen trees, etc.
If wet best to avoid driving in, very boggy , but walking in can be very rewarding.
