Description
Long recognised as a biodiversity hotspot, Dryandra Woodland has recently been given extra environmental protection with national park status.
Dryandra is a key stronghold for some of Australia’s threatened wildlife including numbats, woylies, western brush wallabies and chuditch as well as quenda.
The Woodland is home to a large suite of birdlife with sought after birds such as Western Shrike-tit, Blue-breasted Fairywren and Rufous Treecreeper seen throughout the Park including along Ochre Trail.
